How to Remove "Mi Store" from Mi A2

How to Remove "Mi Store" from Mi A2 (Android One)

You could use our app, Zero Permission App, to find the number and types of installed applications in your Mi A2, Android One, phone. One of the function of the app is to list the possibly sideloaded apps and you may find apps such as the list below in your brand new Mi A2 phone.

1. Caping
2. Mi Store
3. Google Pinyin Input
4. Mi Community

All the above apps can be easily uninstall from the device except for Mi Store. It does not appear in the application list under the device setting. One method we used to uninstall this app is as follows:

1. Google https://apkpure.com/mi-store/com.mi.global.shop
2. Download the apk (version 3.2.1) from Chrome
3. Allow installation from known source in Chrome
4. Install the apk
5. Go to setting/app listing and uninstall the app, Mi Store
6. Go to setting and search install from unknown
7. Remove install from unknown for the Chrome

And the app Mi Store will no longer be in your device.

Just sharing, it works for us and thus it may work for you too.

The problem or technique used by Xiaomi seems to be a play on the app id. We will investigate further and report if there is any findings.

PS: Mi Feedback is a system app and thus no way to uninstall without rooting.
