Xiaomi package
Xiaomi Account
Advanced: com.xiaomi.account Advanced Vendor documentation
The Xiaomi Account sign-in on Xiaomi phones, used by Xiaomi Cloud, Find device, themes, GetApps and other Xiaomi services. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.
What it does
Xiaomi Account, still called Mi Account in many places, is the sign-in that ties the phone to Xiaomi's services, including Xiaomi Cloud, Find device, themes, Mi Coin and app reviews. Signing in links the device to your account, and with Find device on that link survives a reset. It runs in the background while you are signed in.
Also shown as Mi Account.
If you disable it
Every Xiaomi service that needs an account stops working. If you are signed in with Find device on, sign out and turn Find device off first; skipping that risks being locked to the account after a reset.
How to disable it
On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.
Disable it (reversible)
