Xiaomi is one of the most popular smartphone brands in India for providing great hardware at affordable prices. However, regardless of that, they have come under fire from fans for the irritating ads in Xiaomi MIUI. Enough so that most of the announcements of Twitter include responses from fans asking to turn the ads off. To help Xiaomi users across the country we even posted details instructions on how to get rid of these advertisements. Going back to Xiaomi, it looks like the number of complaints and feedback progressively grew enough for the company to take some action. The company CEO, Lei Jun previously issued a statement informing us that Xiaomi was working on a fix.

According to Jun, Xiaomi is working on changing its policy regarding annoying ads.
