Mi Mover is a data migration app that wirelessly transfers content to a new Xiaomi phone.
Mi Mover helps users who are moving from an old phone to a new Xiaomi device without using cables. It sets up a private, direct wireless link so you can move personal content during first setup or later. The process works offline and guides you through choosing a sender and a recipient to reduce mistakes. If you prefer installing via an APK file, Mi Mover APK is available for quick setup on compatible devices.
Mi Mover features that matter
Direct wireless transfer without cablesMi Mover establishes a portable hotspot between the old device and the new Xiaomi phone. This link keeps the transfer local and offline, so no mobile data is used. You can start a session, keep both screens awake, and let the data move over a private connection.
Works with Android and iOS sourcesMi Mover is designed to receive content on a Xiaomi phone from different source devices. You can select Android or iOS as the sender type and follow the on-screen prompts. This helps when switching from various platforms to a new Xiaomi device in one guided flow.
Moves more than just photos
- Media and files: photos, videos, music, and documents.
- Personal data: messages, contacts, call history, calendar events, notes, and alarms.
- Apps: supported apps can be moved on Android sources where allowed.
This coverage reduces the need to reconfigure your new phone from scratch. After transfer, you can review migrated content and sign in again where required.
Encrypted in transit with clear disclosuresMi Mover encrypts data during transfer to protect content while it moves between phones. Xiaomi’s disclosure states the app does not collect or share user data. The connection stays local to the two devices, which helps limit exposure to external networks during migration.
Simple sender and recipient rolesThe app uses a straightforward “I’m a sender” and “I’m a recipient” flow to avoid confusion. On the new Xiaomi phone, you set it as the recipient and display a QR code or hotspot details. On the old phone, you choose sender, connect to the shown hotspot, and then select what to move.
Important notes before using Mi Mover
Mi Mover is designed to receive data on a Xiaomi phone. The recipient should be a Mi or Xiaomi device for the process to work as intended.
WhatsApp chats and data are not supported by Mi Mover. Some third party app data and settings may not migrate, so plan to sign in again and reconfigure certain apps after the transfer completes.
The app works offline using a portable hotspot created by the recipient phone. During transfer, mobile data may be disabled and incoming calls can interrupt the process, so consider enabling Do Not Disturb and keeping both devices nearby until finished.
For large media libraries, migration time depends on the amount of data and the connection conditions between the two phones. Keep devices charged or connected to power and avoid closing the app until the summary screen appears.
Mi Mover is free to use. For details about data handling and privacy, refer to Xiaomi’s official privacy resources listed below.
How to use Mi Mover
To start moving content to a new Xiaomi phone, ensure both devices are ready and have enough battery. If needed, download Mi Mover on the sender device and prepare the recipient on the Xiaomi phone. The steps below outline a typical Android to Xiaomi migration.
- On the new Xiaomi phone, open Mi Mover and set it as “I’m a recipient”. Choose the sender type that matches your old device.
- Wait while the Xiaomi phone creates a portable hotspot and shows a QR code or network name. On the old phone, open Mi Mover, tap “I’m a sender”, and connect by scanning the QR code or joining the displayed hotspot.
- Grant the requested permissions on the sender so the app can access photos, contacts, messages, and other selected items. Review the categories and choose what you want to move.
- Start the transfer and keep both screens awake. Keep the devices close, avoid taking calls, and connect them to power if the migration is large.
- When the transfer completes, check photos, contacts, messages, and apps on the Xiaomi phone. Sign in to apps again where needed and verify alarms or notes if they were included.
