Waze Unavailable on Xiaomi MIUI: Android Version Requirement

Waze Unavailable on Xiaomi MIUI: Android Version Requirement

Waze unavailable on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8: requires Android 10+, but some variants are stuck on Android 9. Check for system updates or sideload an older APK as workaround.

Problem: Waze shows as unavailable in the Google Play Store on Xiaomi devices (specifically observed on Redmi Note 8). Root cause: Waze requires Android 10 or higher. The Redmi Note 8 originally shipped with Android 9 (Pie), and depending on the variant, may not have received the Android 10 update — or the update may not have been applied. Solution: Check current Android version in Settings → About Phone. If below Android 10, check for system updates. If no update is available for the specific device variant, Waze cannot be installed from the Play Store. Workaround: APK sideloading from APKMirror may work for older Waze versions that supported Android 9, but these will not receive updates.
