Setting up your Xiaomi device to work properly with the security app - F-Secure Community
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p> </p>Setting up your Xiaomi device to work properly with the security app <p> This article describes how to set up your Xiaomi device so that it works properly with the security app. </p> <p>Due to the aggressive battery management of the Xiaomi operating system (MIUI), the device may shut down applications without user's consent. This leaves the device unprotected as the following features won't work: Anti-Virus, App control and Finder. </p> <div> <strong>To prevent your Xiaomi device from switching off the security app, you need to enable the Autostart option for the app</strong>: <ol><li>Open system <em>Settings</em> and search for the security app. </li> <li>Swipe to turn on <strong>Autostart</strong>:<br><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032052/uploads/6ANEWUPE9GYU/xiaomi-auto-start.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img><br></li> </ol></div> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Unfortunately, Xiaomi can change the settings with OS updates. If the above instructions do not work for you, you can check the following community-sourced page on how to keep an app switched on in Xiaomi: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi">https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi</a>. </p> <p>As Xiaomi prevents launching activities from the background, the security app needs specific permission from the Xiaomi device to be able to restrict the child's device usage and for the Finder alarm to work. </p> <div><strong>To allow the app to launch these operations in the background:</strong> <ol><li>Open system <em>Settings</em> and search for the security app. </li> <li>Tap <strong>Other permissions</strong>:<br><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032052/uploads/JULPRIZ9LLC8/xiaomi-popup.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img><br></li> <li>Enable <strong>Display pop-up windows while running in the background</strong>:<br><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032052/uploads/92DV8X49LUIM/xiaomi-permissions.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img><br></li> </ol></div> <p><strong>Note:</strong> The steps described here may vary depending on the Xiaomi device model used. Consult your device documentation for more detailed instructions. </p> </article> </main>
