While Redmi Pad SE is a powerful and affordable smartphone, it comes with a few pre-installed apps that display ads. These ads can be annoying and intrusive, especially when you’re trying to use your phone for work or entertainment.
Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to remove these ads without rooting your Redmi Pad SE or installing third-party apps.

Method 1: Disabling Ads by Turning Off the MSA Application
The primary culprit behind ads on your Redmi Pad SE is the MSA (MIUI System Ads) process. This process collects data about your usage habits and utilizes it to target ads that align with your preferences.
To disable this process and curb ad intrusion, follow these steps:
- Open Settings on your Redmi Pad SE.
- Navigate to the “Passwords & security” section.
- Select the “Authorization & revocation” option.
- Now disable “MSA”. (You need to turn on the internet connection)
- A pop-up window will appear. Wait for the countdown to complete.
- Then tap “Revoke” to confirm.
- Also, disable “GetApps” from the list.
Once you have turned off the MSA application, you should see a significant reduction in ads on your Redmi Pad SE. You may still see a few ads from time to time, but they should be much less intrusive.
Method 2: Disable Personal Ad Recommendations
Disabling personalized ad recommendations not only prevents ads from appearing in your Xiaomi applications but also reduces the amount of data Xiaomi collects about your usage habits.
To disable personalized ad recommendations, follow these steps:
- Open “Settings”.
- Navigate to the “Passwords & security” section.
- Select the “Privacy” option.
- Tap on “Ad services”.
- Locate the “Personalized MIUI ads” toggle and switch it off.
