Xiaomi Mobile: Learn how to add a Google account to Redmi

Adding a Google account on Xiaomi phones is a bit different than on "pure" Android. MIUI, customization of the interface adopted by the manufacturer, modifies the location of certain menus in the system. However, the procedure remains fairly simple and allows two or more people to share a single smartphone.

The method is identical for Redmi 2, Redmi 2 Pro, Redmi 4 Pro or any smartphone that is running the MIUI 7 or later interfaces. See in the following tutorial how to include more than one Google account on your Chinese phone and have the giant's services synced across all user profiles.
