Optimize Battery Usage auf Xiaomi

Battery drain on a Xiaomi phone is rarely one single problem. Usually it is a mix of apps running in the background, location services staying active, or brightness and sync settings that were never adjusted after setup.

MIUI includes a scan that checks all of this at once instead of forcing you to dig through every settings menu manually. It looks at background processes, running services, and current power-related settings, then generates a list of suggestions you can accept or ignore individually.

To run it, go to SettingsBattery & performanceFix battery usage issues. The scan lists every issue it found. Review each entry, uncheck anything you want to keep as is, and tap Add min to apply the selected fixes.

This tool is the fastest way to catch obvious drains like a stuck GPS or an app ignoring battery restrictions. It is not a replacement for checking individual app permissions if one specific app keeps draining the battery even after running the scan.

Frequently asked questions

The scan skips that specific fix and leaves the related setting or app behavior unchanged. Nothing else from the list gets applied for that item.
