Xiaomi: Adjust How Long Pop-up Windows Stay Visible

If a pop-up window or temporary app alert disappears before you can tap a button, or lingers on screen far longer than needed, the accessibility timeout is set too short or too long for how you use your phone. This value decides how much reaction time you get on prompts that show up briefly and then close on their own. MIUI lets you adjust this timing instead of leaving it on the default.

Set Pop-up Window Action Timeout auf Xiaomi

Pop-up windows in MIUI, such as confirmation dialogs or short system alerts, are built to close automatically after a set amount of time. This timing is not tied to individual apps. It is controlled by a single accessibility setting that applies system-wide to any temporary pop-up requiring a tap or action.

If the timeout is too short, you may miss the chance to press a button before the window closes on its own. If it is set too long, pop-ups can linger and block parts of the screen longer than necessary, which gets noticeable if you use gestures or tap quickly between apps.

You can change this value directly in the accessibility settings:

Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on AccessibilityTap on PhysicalTap on Time to take action (Accessibility timeout)Choose an option

Pick a shorter duration if pop-ups feel like they hang around too long, or a longer one if you keep missing the action window. This setting only affects temporary pop-ups and dialogs, not persistent notifications in the notification shade.

If the problem is a specific app closing its own custom dialog too fast, this system setting will not help, since it only governs standard system-level pop-up behavior.

Frequently asked questions

No. It only applies to temporary pop-up windows and dialogs that require a tap, not to notifications sitting in the notification shade or lock screen.
