Xiaomi phones may reveal your private search, usage: Report

San Francisco: Cybersecurity researchers have accused Xiaomi of infringing on the privacy of its phone users by recording their ‘private’ web and phone use habits.

Researcher Gabi Cirlig found that his Redmi Note 8 smartphone was watching almost everything that he was doing on the phone, Forbes reported on Thursday.

The default Xiaomi browser on the device recorded all the websites he visited and everything viewed on a news feed feature of the Xiaomi software.
