How to Apply for the HyperOS Beta Recruitment Program

The HyperOS Beta Recruitment Program has officially started! It’s open to all users on the Xiaomi Community app. With the latest version of Xiaomi’s new operating system, you generally need to be at level 5 in the Mi Community app to unlock the bootloader and apply for the new beta tester program. But right now, for a limited time, you can apply for the HyperOS Beta program even if you’re just at level 1. So, let’s dive into the details and see how you can grab one of those limited beta seats.

HyperOS Beta Recruitment

Currently, the only way to apply for the new update is through the Mi Community app, which is available to all global users. Just download the app onto your device, register your Mi account, and select your region as Global. Then, head over to your profile. You’ll notice a new “Beta Testing” option in the latest app update. Simply tap on the “Apply” button next to your device name.

Note: Remember, only a limited number of devices are eligible for the HyperOS beta testing program. So, if you don’t see the “Beta Testing” option, it either means your device isn’t eligible at the moment, or all the beta seats are filled up. Don’t worry, just be a little patient.

  • The questions will be presented in a random order, so make sure to read each one carefully.
  • For the version question, select the option “All of the above are correct.”

Remember, the questions might appear in random order, so make sure you read each one carefully and answer thoughtfully.

Note: I strongly recommend that you only participate in the beta program if you truly understand how to handle your device with custom ROMs, use all the developer tools, and report bugs effectively. Please don’t install it just to try out new features prematurely.
