Common questions

What people actually want to know

Why does my Xiaomi Xiaomi Mi 5s say "Contact list is being updated" and how do I fix it?

This message appears when your Xiaomi device is syncing contacts or rebuilding contact data. If it persists and prevents you from accessing contacts, follow these steps:

Disable account syncing: Go to Settings > Accounts, check which accounts are syncing contacts, and temporarily disable contact sync for each account.
Rebuild contact index: Open Contacts > tap the 3 dots (top right) > Settings > More > Rebuild Index Data. This may take 15-20 minutes depending on how many contacts you have.
Clear Contacts app data: Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > Show system apps > Contacts > Storage > Clear data. Note: This will require a device restart to restore the dialer screen.
Restart your device after clearing data or disabling sync.

If the issue continues, check for third-party app conflicts (WhatsApp, Truecaller) by temporarily uninstalling them, or visit Xiaomi’s official support forums for firmware updates and specialized fixes.
