Today we are going to review what work profile is used for on Xiaomi smartphones and how to use this feature. If you have a Xiaomi device that has recently been updated to Android 11, you will notice a small symbol in the shape of a briefcase in the notification bar.
The first thing you should know is that there is nothing to worry about since this small symbol represents the work profile feature. If you still don’t know what it’s all about, we’ll explain everything below.
What is the work profile on Xiaomi smartphones and how to use this feature?
The work profile is a feature on Android devices and it is essential for the management of various actions.
Specifically, any device with Android 7.0 or higher, has this work profile. In the case of Xiaomi mobile phones, it allows us to execute some features.
Thus, if for some reason this function is disabled, it will not be possible for MIUI to execute the actions.
How to hide the briefcase symbol from the notification bar on a Xiaomi smartphone?
There are two scenarios to consider related to the work profile on your Xiaomi mobile. Either the briefcase symbol appears crossed out or it doesn’t appear at all.
If the symbol is shown crossed out in the top bar of the screen, it is because the work mode is disabled but you can activate it from the notification bar.
To do this, you simply need to go to the MIUI control center and activate it or you can go to “Settings” and follow this path: “Work mode > Activate work mode” and that’s it.
How to activate the Enterprise Mode on Xiaomi smartphones?
For users with MIUI 12 who want to activate “Enterprise Mode” for the first time, follow these steps:
- Enter the “Settings” on your Xiaomi device.
- Press “Additional settings”.
- At the bottom of the menu, you will see the “Enterprise Mode” option. Tap on it and then “Enable Enterprise Mode”.
- Next, it will ask for the company code and license code to start the pairing.
- Enter the data provided by the administration.
- Wait a while while the system synchronizes with the company’s server and you are done.
Now, if this icon does not appear in the notification bar of your Xiaomi, it is for the simple fact that you are not using the specific applications.
For this reason, the system does not consider it necessary to activate this function and does not show the symbol in the status bar. In case you use any of these options, the work mode will be activated.
