No A1 doesnt have ads... Thankfully... using it since 4 monthsThis means I'm never buying Xiaomi phones or recommending to anyone.
Does Mi A1 phone has adverts too?
hard to say what is the criteria. maybe they start doing it after the phone is one year old. because it does not happen on all phones. my mom's phone is quite old (redmi note 1st gen) and i had to block a lot of apps on it. dad's phone has been relatively nuisance free. but it is a widely known thing that mi apps push notification ads. just a google search would confirm that.I havent seen advertisement in my Redmi 3S prime.
mi browser comes preloaded. disabling that removes all ads
To learn more, we reached out to Xiaomi, but the company could not make a spokesperson available to discuss the matter. It confirmed that the push notifications on the Mi App Store are mostly "generic pushes that are not personalised," and that the ads are served by third-party ad networks and not reviewed by Xiaomi India.
In other words, inappropriate ads could be reaching anyone, including kids, and the company says it's not responsible for this. To make things worse for people like Ravikrishnan, you can not uninstall Mi Apps as it is a system application and you also cannot turn off notifications from the app.
Aside from Mi Apps, Xiaomi India is also serving ads to users via the Browser app, and when we met the company's Global Vice President, and Managing Director India, Manu Kumar Jain in Chennai earlier this year, he mentioned ads are now a serious revenue source for Xiaomi India.
