Optional Debloat List-
And here are some apps which you can safely debloat but might have issues with other features.
1. System Apps Updator– You can safely remove it but this is necessary if you want to update your system apps. I personally don’t use Mi Apps, so I nuke it whenever I use MIUI.
2. Mi Video– It helps in editing slo-mo videos recorded from your device. So, if you don’t care about slo-mo videos then you can safely uninstall it.
3. Vsimcore– It shows the data usage on Control Center as well as the old Notification panel. So, if you like to see your mobile data usage then don’t remove it. Otherwise, you can debloat it.
Conclusion:
If you’re using MIUI then it’s recommended to debloat it. It doesn’t just remove the unnecessary apps but also helps to improve battery backup of your device. It can also result in slightly better performance of your device. A lot of Mi apps collect data and send them to Xiaomi servers, so you also save some KBs out of your mobile data pack. 😉
So, make use of this apps to debloat list in MIUI and make your device perform better.
