Xiaomi smartphones out of the box run on their custom version of Android known as HyperOS (formerly MIUI) which comes bundled with a plethora of preinstalled first and third party apps. The preinstalled third party apps can be easily uninstalled with a few clicks whereas the same is not applicable for the preinstalled first party apps. The option to uninstall them is either greyed out or just outright missing, requiring advanced methods such as ADB to uninstall. | Xiaomi smartphones out of the box run on their custom version of Android known as HyperOS (formerly MIUI) which comes bundled with a plethora of preinstalled first and third party apps.

Xiaomi's ecosystem of smart home devices is primarily managed through the '''Xiaomi Home''' (formerly Mi Home) application. Xiaomi does not provide a browser-based control panel for managing devices. Users must install the proprietary Xiaomi Home app on their smartphones. For desktop usage, the only workaround is to run an Android emulator, as there is no official native application for Windows, Linux, or macOS.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chin |first=Sam |date=29 Aug 2025 |title=Which platforms does the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home APP support? |url=https://www.mi.com/global/support/faq/details/KA-515616/ |access-date=15 Mar 2025}}</ref> | |||
