Xiaomi: Manage Notifications for Individual Apps

If one chatty app keeps popping up over whatever you're doing, or a messaging app reveals message previews on the lock screen when you'd rather it didn't, the fix isn't a single master switch. On Xiaomi phones, every app has its own notification behavior for sound, pop-ups, banners, and lock screen visibility. Without adjusting the right app individually, the annoying alerts keep coming back.

Manage Notifications for Individual Apps auf Xiaomi

Xiaomi phones handle notifications per app rather than through one global setting. That's why muting one annoying app doesn't affect the rest, and why a fix that worked for one app might not apply to another.

Each app has its own notification profile covering pop-up banners, sound, vibration, and lock screen visibility. If a messaging app still shows previews on the lock screen after you thought you disabled it, you likely changed a different app's settings by mistake.

Where to change it

Go to SettingsNotifications & Control centerApp notifications, then pick the app causing the issue. From there you can enable or disable specific notification types for that app only, without touching any other app's behavior.

This approach is useful when one app is too noisy but you still want alerts from everything else. It's less useful if you want to silence notifications temporarily across the whole phone, since that's better handled through a focus or do-not-disturb mode instead of per-app toggles.

Frequently asked questions

Pop-ups and lock screen visibility are separate notification types. Open SettingsNotifications & Control centerApp notifications, select the app, and check that the pop-up option is disabled as well, not just the lock screen one.
