The Xiaomi bracelet is a device designed not only to replicate the notifications of the mobile on our wrist, but it is perfect to control our daily activity and encourage us to lead a healthy life. This can go further if we also compete with our friends using the Mi Band.
As if it were a social media application, you can add anyone who uses the Mi Band 3 onwards as “friends” and share your fitness goals and progress with them, and vice versa. You can also “cheer up” your contacts with a nudge and “poke” them with your data to make them gasp, just for fun. Of course, this curious function hidden in the Xiaomi app settings also works with Mi Band 4, 5 and 6 users.
How do I add contacts to Mi Fit?
Like almost every configuration we do on the Chinese brand bracelet, to add friends we will have to access the Mi Fit application and follow this process:
- At the bottom of the screen, select Profile all the way to the right.
- In this new menu you must scroll to the bottom and select friends.
- Here you will be given the option to add friends by ID or by QR code.
- If you are with your contact, ask him to show you his code and that he do the same with yours.
- If you are not together, ask for the ID that should appear on the screen.
Once the partner validates the request, you can compete with him by viewing his sports statistics. Inside the section of friends of the Mi Band . Specifically, the app shows the calories consumed and the distance traveled as well as the steps. If you want to beat him, you will only have to take one step more than him or burn a little more fat, something that never hurts.
Why can’t I add my friends to the Mi BAnd?
There is a fairly widespread problem in which users complain that they cannot add contacts following the aforementioned process and the bad thing is that there is no solution. There are those who are doing well and there are those who are doing poorly, and if you are one of the latter, you cannot do more than try to do it after a while. It does not even depend on the compatibility of the Xiaomi bracelet with your mobile since some clients of the brand point out that the problem solved itself without updating or touching anything, so it seems that the origin of the failure is usually in the server itself from Xiaomi and it’s totally random.
