How to replace the MIUI icons with Google icons in the notification bar of your Xiaomi

Today we are going to teach you how to customize your Xiaomi, specifically, the notification bar . By default, in Android we have the notification icons in this bar, also known as the status bar. These icons are monochrome in Android Stock, although many manufacturers customize them with different colors.

Let’s tell you how you can replace the icons of MIUI 12 by Google on your Xiaomi , so that they have a more minimalist look and your status bar is even cleaner. It is a very simple process and it is not necessary to install anything.

Changing the icons of your Xiaomi

If you look at the status bar of your Xiaomi there are two parts. The right side has the Android icons : WiFi, data, SIM … All of them monochrome, quite clean. On the left side you have all the icons of the apps that, in this case, are customized by Xiaomi.

These icons are colored and, if you are a bit of a design freak, you will see that it is hard to have one side of the bar with colored icons and the other monochrome . Luckily, Xiaomi allows you to replace these icons with Android ones.

You just have to go to the Xiaomi settings and follow the path indicated below step by step:

• Open your Xiaomi settings
• Click on ‘Notifications and control center’
• Click the option of ‘Status bar’
• Deactivate the option of ‘Use the apps in notifications’

Ready. If we uncheck this option Xiaomi will show the stock icons , in the monochrome Material Design palette. It is a minor change, but it is a good facelift for your Xiaomi.
