How to quickly and easily update your Xiaomi Mi Band

Updating a Xiaomi Mi Band may seem complicated at first. There’s no option to check for updates from the band, which may be foreign for those used to pricier smartwatches. However, checking for updates, and updating your Mi Band, is pretty simple. Here’s how to do it.

How to update your Xiaomi Mi Band

Xiaomi Mi Bands are compatible with two official Xiaomi apps, Mi Fitness and Zepp Life. The steps are similar but differ slightly depending on which you use to pair your Mi Band to your phone.
