Mute Messages from Unknown Senders on Xiaomi Phones

Messages from unknown numbers can be annoying or potentially harmful. Xiaomi phones running MIUI include built-in features that allow you to mute messages from unknown senders and reduce spam notifications in your inbox.

⚠️ Muting unknown messages does not block the sender entirely; it only suppresses notifications.

Step 1: Open Messages Settings

  1. Open the Messages app on your Xiaomi device.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Settings.

Step 2: Mute Messages from Unknown Senders

  1. Find the Block & Mute Unknown SMS or Silence Unknown Senders option.
  2. Toggle it ON to activate.
  3. Once enabled, notifications for messages from unknown numbers will be silenced.

Step 3: Block Specific Numbers

  1. Open the conversation with the unwanted sender.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu and select Block number.
  3. Confirm to prevent future messages from this number.

Step 4: Report Spam Messages

You can report spam messages to help improve Xiaomi’s spam detection system.

  1. Long-press the spam message.
  2. Select Report Spam if available.
  3. Optionally, delete the message afterward.
💡 Keeping your Xiaomi phone updated ensures spam protection and mute features work effectively.

Extra Tips to Reduce Spam Messages
