Xiaomi: Show Owner Info on the Lock Screen

If your Xiaomi phone shows your saved contact card name instead of a custom message on the lock screen, that text comes from a separate owner info field, not your business card. Many people want a different name, a backup contact number, or no personal details at all showing before the phone is unlocked. This setting controls exactly what text appears above the clock on a locked screen.

Add Owner Info to the Lock Screen auf Xiaomi

The text shown on a locked Xiaomi phone above the clock is controlled by a separate field called lock screen owner info. It is not automatically linked to your saved contact card, though MIUI fills it with that name by default.

This field is useful if you want a lost phone to display a backup number or a short note instead of your personal contact details. It also lets you remove any text if you prefer a clean lock screen with no owner information at all.

How to change it

Go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Always-on display & Lock screen ➔ Tap on Lock screen clock format ➔ Tap on Lock screen owner info ➔ Enter the Lock screen owner info and tap OK.

Clear the existing text and type a new message, or leave the field empty to hide owner info completely. The change applies immediately and shows on the next screen lock.

This setting only affects the text label on the lock screen. It has no effect on notifications, widgets, or the always-on display clock style, so use the display settings menu separately if you want to change those.

Frequently asked questions

MIUI pre-fills the Lock screen owner info field with the name from your own contact card the first time you set it up. You can overwrite this text anytime through Settings ➔ Always-on display & Lock screen ➔ Lock screen clock format ➔ Lock screen owner info.
