A few days ago, there was news that Xiaomi is forbidding users to install GMS ( Google Mobile Services) on their devices with MIUI China ROM. The company made an official statement about this.
Xiaomi posted image on Weibo through your “Xiaomi Representative” account. This image includes a total of four points
The first says that the information about GMS on Xiaomi phones was provided by an unofficial Xiaomi community group. In the second case, the company denies that it is blocking the installation of GMS, and calls the news a "rumor."
However, the third point of the firm contradicts the first two. The company notes that the GMS platform is pre-installed on some smartphones sold in China. But this will not happen in the future.
Consequently, users will not be able to install GMS on their phones by themselves without the necessary infrastructure. Anyway, Xiaomi does say it will supply select phones with the GMS platform based on demand.
It looks like instead of "future" the Chinese smartphone maker has already removed the framework with the latest update. MIUI on some of their models. Therefore, we think that since several users are reporting this issue, an unofficial Xiaomi community group has brought this news to the general public.
Finally, the fourth point confirms that international models are not affected. Thus, Xiaomi's global customers do not need to worry about GMS on their smartphones.
So who is affected by this change? First of all, these are people who import Xiaomi phones from China. These users will not be able to install GMS on their device if it does not come with the required framework. Secondly, Chinese citizens who want to try out GMS.
