At the end of June, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps including Mi Community citing privacy concerns. Now, after about two weeks, Xiaomi India has temporarily disabled the app as well as the website with a notice.
Both the app and website of Mi Community India have been blocked by most ISPs in the country after the announcement of the ban by the government. But only now, the company has disabled them officially (via PiunikaWeb) as TikTok did the very next day.
If you visit the URL of Mi Community India, you will be treated with an official notice by the company mentioning the ban (pictured above).
It reads “We will be meeting with government stakeholders for an opportunity to respond and submit our clarifications. Mi Community adheres to the most stringent data privacy and security requirements under Indian law. The privacy and security of Mi Fans is of utmost importance to us”.
The statement given by Xiaomi India sounds similar to the one stated by TikTok India. That said, fellow Xiaomi product users can seek help if they need from the global Mi Community or XDA forums since those websites can be accessed in India.
