Own a Xiaomi device, want to remove bloatware from Xiaomi Device? You’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ll tell you how to Remove Bloatware From Xiaomi Devices without any root. We’ve found pretty simple workarounds to which will let you remove the stock apps or Bloatware from all the Xiaomi devices.

As you all know that Xiaomi is taking over the budget smartphones market. Moreover, we have seen Xiaomi devices have taken over in the Indian and Chinese market. This has given Xiamoi an edge over all the other smartphone manufacturers. There is no denying that Xiaomi is giving the best low priced phones with high-end specs.

However, the fact remains that like all the other manufacturers, Xiaomi also put a pile of pre-installed, Stock or you can say Bloatware. I hate that, about all the Android phones, putting stupid apps without any reason. Most of the time there is no use what so ever of all these apps. All they do is occupy free space, that we can use for many other purposes. Now let’s get started and tell you how you can Remove Bloatware From Xiaomi Device without Root.

What is Bloatware?

Manufacturers are in a race with each other nowadays and coming up with their smartphones loaded with tons of new features. Samsung is focusing more on the software and hardware features of the devices. Every time we receive a new flagship device from Samsung, it brings in new software features that add to the load the device handles at times.

HTC is trying its best to improve its Sense UI, while LG is focusing on making its phone’s display more attractive. Same goes for other manufacturers. While focusing on something else, device manufacturers literally forget the burden on the software that the phone can handle at a time.

Because of this, many users come across the laggy behavior of their device. Bloatware is even more common with the carrier branded devices. Carriers incorporate their applications in smartphones to achieve some exclusiveness.

Google doesn’t stand under this umbrella as Nexus devices sport the pure stock Android OS, that contains almost no extra or heavy features. Some custom operating systems are a point of attention only because they do not contain any un-necessary and heavy applications.
