Xiaomi phones have to their credit along with MIUI with many customization options and options to squeeze the devices, however we have not yet managed to take full advantage of it. With the Xiaomi developer options, we will be able to change them and get even more use of our mobile without limitations. We explain the steps to follow to activate the options on Xiaomi and everything we can do.
It does not matter if we have a Xiaomi mobile with MIUI 10, MIUI 11 or MIUI 12 because the steps to activate them are going to be the same, however it is possible that we will find different options. Once activated, we will not have to repeat them again and we will have these options on our mobile always at hand.
Steps to activate developer options on Xiaomi
If we want to get more advanced settings on Xiaomi phones we must follow some simple steps that we show you in images and also explain:
- To start we only enter the settings of our Xiaomi mobile
- Then we touch in the section on the phone.
- Now we will tap repeatedly on the MIUI version until the message “Developer options have been activated” appears on the screen.
Access the added options in MIUI
Once we have them activated we just have to enter them to know all the advanced options that they give us. We will do this in settings again, going down to the option called additional settings. Inside we scroll again until we find the developer options section that will give way to each and every one of the available options.

Once we have activated them and know how to locate them, it is time to know everything we can do with these options that are completed in a list that exceeds fifty settings in MIUI 11. A series of options that expand the possibilities of our mobile phone, although we must go with lead feet because we could activate some option that changes what we shouldn’t.
