Data & Privacy Basics for Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4

When you stop using Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 with a phone, removing the existing pairing is an important device-privacy step. The flow below uses the Mi Fit app on an Android device and assumes the band is already paired.

[reference] Title: Unpair Text: Removes the current connection between Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 and the paired phone through Mi Fit. Title: Device data Text: Before giving the band to another person, check that the information you intend to remove is no longer available on the band. Title: App data Text: Records associated with the app or account should be reviewed separately when your goal is broader data removal. [/reference]

Before You Unpair

[checklist] * Mi Fit is installed on the Android device * Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is currently paired with that device * You are ready to remove the existing phone-to-band pairing [/checklist] [warning] Unpairing removes the device connection. Do not assume that it also removes every record associated with the app or account. [/warning]

Remove the Existing Pairing

Open the Mi Fit app on your Android device.

Continue in the Mi Fit app.

Tap the Profile icon at the bottom.

Select XIAOMI Mi Band 4 from the device list.

Scroll to the bottom of the device settings and tap Unpair.

Confirm by tapping Unpair again.

Allow a few seconds for the band to disconnect from the phone.

Privacy Check After Unpairing

[checklist] * Confirm the band is no longer listed as the active paired device * Check the band for any information you expected to remove * Review app or account data separately if you also want stored records removed [/checklist] [note] Menu names can vary between app versions. Keep the same goal: select the paired Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4, remove the pairing, and confirm the action. [/note] [faq] Q: Is unpairing the same as deleting all app or account data? A: No broad app or account deletion is established by this unpairing flow. Review those records separately if you want them removed. Q: What should I check before giving the band to someone else? A: Confirm that the old pairing has been removed and check that the information you intended to clear is no longer accessible on the band. [/faq]
