I see it in Settings >> Apps >> Manage apps:   Never Used, Storage 434KB
However I cannot find it in my home screens (I have just 3 of them). And yes, I did check all folders (Google, More apps, Tools, Games).
Any ideas how I can find it? Is there any way of launching it without finding it?
Or is it permanently disabled if a phone has PlayStore installed?

    I have a Redmi Note 11, software MIUI 13.0.13 and I don't have 'GetApps'. My phone is just the basic version though, is yours the Pro version?

    No, not Pro, 13.0.12
  • I do tend to uninstall any 'bloatware' so there's a chance I could have deleted it, especially if it's only replicating Google play.

    Are you actually wanting to use the app or are you just curious as to why it's not showing on your home screens?

    I wanted to use it, but don't want to explain why.
    And no, in my Settings there is no option to uninstall it. The OS version is MIUI Global, if this makes any difference.
  • Yes mine is MIUI Global also. 

    If it's any use to you it appears you can access getapps from Xiaomi's website in order to download apps

    I don't see how to make it work. Unlike Google Play, this website opens in the browser and for any app there I don't see a button 'Install' or similar - the same as with a PC. Google Play on a desktop has this button - greyed, inactive.
  • Only other thing I can think of is downloading the APK and trying to install it again.
