What is a Mi account?

Mi Account is a tool that helps Xiaomi identify its users. It lets people access different Xiaomi products and services, such as Xiaomi Cloud, Mi Pay, Mi Store, Mi Home, Mi Community, and Mi Music. In addition, with a Mi Account, users can buy Mi coins to use virtual products and services like games and e-books. Xiaomi is committed to protecting your personal information and uses industry-standard practices to secure your Mi Account.

How to Remove Mi Account on Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO Devices

To remove your Mi Account from Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO Phones, you can follow these steps:

Go to the Settings app on your Xiaomi device.

Look for the Mi Account tab within the settings. Again, the location may vary depending on your device’s region and ROM version. For example, in China ROM, it is usually at the top of the settings, while in Global ROM, it is typically at the bottom.

Scroll down within the Mi Account settings until you find the “Sign out” button. Tap on it.

Some accounts may require you to enter your password for the sign-out process. If prompted, enter your Mi Account password.
After signing out, you will see options to keep or remove your Mi Account data, such as backed-up photos and emails. If you want to retain this data on your device, press the “Keep” button. If you prefer to remove the data, press the “Remove” button.

If the sign-out process is successful, you will no longer see your Mi Account listed at the top of the settings. Instead, you will see “Sign in to Mi Account.“

It’s important to note that removing your Mi Account will result in the loss of associated data and may have implications for services and features that rely on the account. Before proceeding, back up any critical data or files related to your Mi Account.
