Xiaomi: Turn Off Automatic Diagnostic Data Sending

If Send diagnostic data automatically stays enabled, your Xiaomi phone keeps transmitting usage statistics that can include personal details. Many people only notice this after checking a privacy report or reviewing background data usage. MIUI never discloses exactly what content gets sent in these reports, which is why disabling related user experience options is worth doing.

Turn Off Automatic Diagnostic Data Sending auf Xiaomi

MIUI ships with a background service called Send diagnostic data automatically. It quietly forwards usage statistics from your Xiaomi phone to help improve the system, but the exact content of these reports is never disclosed.

Because the collected data can include app usage patterns, crash logs and other technical details, some of it may qualify as personal information depending on how you use the device. Xiaomi does not provide a breakdown of what gets included in each transmission.

To disable it, open SettingsPasswords & securityPrivacy and turn off Send diagnostic data automatically. The same toggle lets you turn it back on if a support case later requires diagnostic logs.

This setting exists on both current and older MIUI releases, though the exact wording inside Privacy can shift slightly between builds. If you are troubleshooting a specific issue with Xiaomi support, keep in mind that disabling this option can make it harder for them to access background logs remotely.

For broader privacy control, check the other toggles near this one in Privacy, since several relate to similar user experience optimization services that work the same way.

Frequently asked questions

No. The toggle only stops MIUI from transmitting usage reports; it does not change how apps run on your Xiaomi phone.
