Xiaomi MiTalk has announced that it will end its service on February 19
According to Xiaomi, it will completely shut down Xiaomi MiTalk at 12:00 on February 19, 2021. If you use this service, you will have to export your chat history yourself.
Also, please note that after the termination of Xiaomi MiTalk service, you cannot export any personal data and information to the system.
Also, note that if your device is running Android v8.8.70 and above, you can use batch export.
Xiaomi has been running this messaging platform since its inception in 2010. It was originally a very popular messaging platform with millions of users. However, over the years, the company has lost touch with users.
It has lost its place to the likes of WeChat and other young messaging platforms. As much as we would like to see MiTalk, we have to admit that its users are not that many. Trying to support such a platform would probably be a loss for Xiaomi.
