Affected by the US ban, Huawei announced last year that it no longer supports GMS (Google Mobile Services). After Huawei, Xiaomi‘s mobile phones sold in the Chinese market were no longer pre-installed with Google GMS. Recently, some Xiaomi users reported to Xiaomi that GMS could not be installed on their mobile phones.
In response, Xiaomi service staff responded that due to compliance with the policy, Xiaomi MIUI no longer supports the self-installation of GMS. However, some users said that some models with built-in GMS will not be affected. Currently, the affected models include the Redmi K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition and Redmi 10X 5G etc. However, these are not all affected models, and Xiaomi has not given a list of specific models.
As an important part of the Android ecosystem, failure to install Google GMS may cause some problems for some mobile phone users, but the impact is not significant. In fact, because Google services are unavailable in mainland China, mobile phones sold by Chinese mobile phone manufacturers no longer have Google GMS pre-installed.
For Xiaomi, MIUI no longer supports the GMS service, and many users said that GMS is not important to them. Xiaomi service staff said that they can go to coolapk.com to search for installation tutorials for users who are indeed affected.
