Alert Bridge

The notifications display on the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 is good, but it can be even better using the Alert Bridge app.

It is available for free in the Play Store. This application for Mi Band 4 allows you to change the appearance of notifications from apps such as Gmail, WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram, making the bracelet show the full text of the messages you receive.

In addition, you can customize the style of the messages and select the icons for the applications from which you will receive notifications. To use Alert Bridge, you will have to enable your mobile’s Bluetooth and give the app permission to access notifications.

Mi Band 4 Watchfaces

An application that allows you to customize the screen of your Xiaomi Mi Band 4 could not be missing from this list. We are talking about the Mi Band 4 Watchfaces, with thousands of designs cataloged by languages, so you can find what you need with a single click.

After downloading your favorite spheres, they will be saved so you can use them at any time through Settings on the bracelet screen> My bracelet screens in the Mi Fit app.

Vibro band

This innovative app for Mi Band offers you control of the vibration of your Xiaomi Mi Band 4 to manage its intensity or duration, also being able to choose between different modes.

It is worth mentioning that you can vibrate the bracelet for simple pleasure or relaxation, not only with notifications. In addition, Vibro Band also has a dark mode so that you can use the app in the dark.

Master for Mi Band

Master for Mi BandIf the official Xiaomi app for the Mi Band, Mi Fit, falls short of your needs, you can always use an alternative like Master for Mi Band.

This app for the bracelet allows you to generate much more detailed graphs and statistics of activity, heart rate, sleep analysis, and more.

In addition to that, it allows you to configure the notifications or the watch faces. Everything from the same free app –although it offers in-app purchases–.

My Band Maps

In case you did not know, we remember that you can use the Mi Band 4 or Mi Band 5 as if it were a GPS to receive directions from Google Maps, thus increasing its possibilities even more.

The application that allows it is called Mi Band Maps, and it is available in the Play Store for 0.99 cents, a low price if we consider that it works very well from the first moment.

After configuring the app from Mi Fit and starting a route on Google Maps, you will receive all the notifications on your smart bracelet. As the app clarifies on its Play Store page, it only works with routes on foot or by car, not public transport routes.

Mi Band Selfie

A useful function included in the Mi Band 5 is the possibility of controlling the mobile camera to take photos remotely using the bracelet.

Although this option is not present on the Mi Band 4, some apps allow it to do so: such as the Mi Band Selfie.

With this application compatible with the Mi Band 4, you can take photos from a distance by touching the bracelet’s screen. Keep in mind, of course, that it only works with some alternative camera apps for Android, such as Open Camera.

TextToBand

The Mi Band 4 can be used much more than you imagine if you use the right apps. TextToBand is an extremely useful tool used to send a text to the bracelet.

In this way, you can use it to study, receive reminders, create shopping lists, or simply have the information you will need temporarily.

Google fit

Google fitIf you want to see the activity data recorded on your Mi Band more clearly, one of the most useful apps for the Xiaomi bracelet is Google Fit.

Since you can synchronize your Mi Band 4 or 5 with Google Fit, the data collected by the bracelet will appear in Google Fit and will be synchronized in the Google cloud so that it can be viewed from any device.

My Fit

My FitWe could not finish this list without talking about the Mi Fit app, essential to make the most of the functions of your Xiaomi Mi Band 4.

In Andro4all, we already made a complete guide to explain everything you can do with Mi Fit, although we will take advantage of this mention to talk about some of its more unknown functions.

One of them is the one that offers you the possibility of configuring periodic alarms so that it is your bracelet that wakes you up or setting reminders so that you do not miss any key date.

In addition, with Mi Fit, you can activate an alert that will make your Mi Band 4 sound noticeably when you have lost sight of it.

The Xiaomi app for the Mi Band 4 is essential if you use the bracelet, as it is necessary to associate the accessory with the mobile phone –although you can also use Zepp, the app for Amazfit watches compatible with the Mi Band–.
