All about notifications in MUI 11

Notifications on mobiles with notch

Here what you have to look at is whether your MIUI phone has a notch or not, that is, the notch you see at the top of the screen. If you have a notch, as you may have seen, the notifications do not appear correctly and we have to install a third-party application. In this special here we tell you everything you need so that notifications appear on a Xiaomi phone with notch.

Notification icons in application bar

If this is not your case and the notifications appear correctly on your terminal but you still don't see them, don't worry, we'll show you how to activate them. Because the management of notifications has changed in MIUI 11. At first it may seem a bit confusing but as soon as you get the hang of it, you will see that the management of notifications in this version of MIUI has improved. And a lot.

Enter the phone settings and we will go to the 'Notifications' section. We click inside.

The first thing we are going to see are three screen graphics in which, in a very simple way, we will choose how we want the application notifications to appear on the top bar.

• Notifications on the lock screen: we will choose which applications we want notified on the lock screen. We can adjust if we want all the content, show only the notification but hiding what is shown, to ensure our privacy, or not show anything and that the lock screen is clean of them.
• Floating notifications. If you want to allow floating notifications on your Xiaomi with MIUI 11, you must choose the desired applications in this section.
• Notification icons: choose which applications you want to show its icon in the notification bar. That is, if we only want the WhatsApp icon to be displayed and not the other applications, we must activate the WhatsApp application switch and deactivate the other applications.

On this same screen, at the top of the screen, we have a practical application search engine. We already know that many of you use to download dozens of applications and then, to configure your notifications, it can be a mess. Thanks to this search engine we can search for a specific notification to fine-tune the notifications.

In short, with this section we are going to choose, one by one, the application notifications according to what we want: whether or not they appear on the lock screen, whether or not the icon appears, its design according to MIUI or Android, etc.
