As we already know, Xiaomi is one of the companies that takes care of the software section of their devices the most in the world of smartphones with the Android operating system. In general, the company uses to deploy its new versions of MIUI in a staggered manner in order to avoid possible saturations of its servers so that all users can access them without problems.
But this also leads to a small problem for end users, and that is that This staggered release may result in two exactly identical phones receiving the update at different times. Luckily, within the MIUI options there is a small trick to be able to force these updates manually and in this post we will show you in detail.
How to force the latest MIUI updates for your Xiaomi phone
Fortunately, MIUI hides inside some settings thanks to which We can manually force that we can receive the latest available version of the Xiaomi customization layer on our device.
Of course, we must take into account that this is not a miracle method Since, in the event that Xiaomi has not deployed the specific update, it will not appear to us, not even trying to manually force its installation.
The first of these methods It consists of a simple adjustment that we will find in the MIUI configuration that will allow us to indicate to the system that the user is willing to receive the new updates of the system precisely at the moment of its deployment. For it, we will have to follow these steps:
- Access the settings of your Xiaomi phone
- At the top, click on the “About the phone” option and access the “MIUI version” section
- Once inside, click on the three points located in the upper right area of the screen and click on “Update settings”
- Download and activate the option “Receive updates before”
In the case that activating this option our Xiaomi phone still cannot find the corresponding MIUI update already deployed, We will have the option to install it manually in a simple way. To do this, we will have to do the following:
- Access the official Xiaomi website and download the latest version of MIUI available for your phone
- Once downloaded and stored in the internal memory of your phone, access the settings of your Xiaomi phone
- At the top, click on the “About the phone” option and access the “MIUI version” section
- Once inside, click on the three points located in the upper right area of the screen and click on “Select update package”
- Find the downloaded file in the internal memory of your device and select it so that the system can install it
Finally, in the event that neither of these two options worked, We will have a third available that, on many occasions, is usually effective. This method consists of changing the region of our device to any other and then changing it back to the region in which we are to force the system to search for new updates.
To change the region of your phone, you will only have to:
- Access the settings of your Xiaomi phone
- Scroll down and select the option “Additional settings”
- Click on “Region”
- Select another region from the ones you have available
