Xiaomi: Turn Keyboard Usage Statistics Sharing On or Off

If your Xiaomi phone keeps sending keyboard usage data to Google in the background, that's the 'Share usage statistics' option buried in the keyboard settings. This toggle controls whether typing patterns get reported for diagnostics, and it's on by default on most devices. Many users only discover it exists when checking their privacy settings after noticing unfamiliar data usage.

Keyboard Usage Statistics Sharing Toggle auf Xiaomi

Xiaomi phones running MIUI send anonymized keyboard usage statistics to Google by default. This data covers typing patterns and word suggestions, and it helps improve autocorrect models across devices.

The setting sits inside the keyboard app itself, not in the general privacy menu, which is why most people never find it. Disabling it stops the data transfer immediately without affecting how the keyboard suggests words or corrects typos.

To change it, open SettingsAdditional settingsLanguages & inputManage keyboardsSettingsAdvanced. From there, enable or disable Share usage statistics depending on your preference.

If the option is grayed out or missing, the keyboard app may need an update first. Some third-party keyboards installed as the default input method do not expose this toggle at all, since it only applies to the built-in MIUI keyboard.

Frequently asked questions

No. Disabling Share usage statistics only stops data from being sent to Google. Autocorrect and word suggestions keep working the same way on your device.
