The installation of Telegram on Xiaomi phones has stopped

MIUI software is an Android-based operating system that Xiaomi uses in its smartphones and mobile devices. With the release of MIUI 13 in 2022, Xiaomi added a new security feature to identify and prevent malicious apps from running on devices.

According to Isna, however, this feature was met with criticism and suspicion in the past, and users suspected that the said feature might be a covert attempt by Xiaomi in collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control user activities and censor applications. be

This suspicion was reinforced after MIUI started blocking apps that allowed users to change network settings beyond the default settings. If an app looks malicious or dangerous, MIUI will try to remove the app from the device and block its installation.

Recent revelations suggest that Xiaomi’s MIUI has now recognized the popular messaging platform Telegram as a dangerous app in China.

According to reports published in Telegram channels, when Xiaomi MIUI detects Telegram, it will show a warning saying “This application has not been approved by Xiaomi’s security review. For security reasons, it is recommended to take security measures to ensure safety.” Enable app and protection against dangerous apps.”

Haikari Calix, a Chinese mobile designer, in a conversation with the Bliping computer website, confirmed the aforementioned reports about preventing the installation of Telegram and other applications by Xiaomi’s MIUI operating system.

Chinese authorities have historically imposed restrictions or bans on several global platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Google, limiting access and free communication for millions of people, according to a report by the website Bleeping Computer. Also, over time, popular social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been targeted, and their Chinese alternatives have become important.
