Users in the China recently found that Xiaomi’s proprietary user interface MIUI no longer allow the installation of Google Services on their Xiaomi devices.
In China, it’s a common practice from numerous manufacturers to not install Google apps and services on their devices as the country have their own alternative apps and ecosystem that doesn’t require Google Mobile Services (GMS) and because of the fact that Google is basically banned in China but users can install GMS on their own if they needed to.
