## About

Xiaomi's official online store for purchasing smartphones, smart home devices, and accessories

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in May 2026 confirmed that the Mi Store app omits Syria from its in-app country list, preventing Syrian users from completing purchases, while switching the device region to another country restores full functionality. This is an application level exclusion by the company, not network filtering, and no outreach has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-11 — Investigated. Community testing from a Syrian device confirmed that the Mi Store app excludes Syria from its supported region list. The in-app country selector omits Syria entirely, preventing Syrian users from completing purchases. Switching the device region to Türkiye or other countries makes the store fully functional, which means the restriction is enforced at the application level by Xiaomi rather than by network filtering.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
