thank you. I wasn't aware of this but it worked. Is it safe to download updates using this method?
Yes. Both those sites have often been recommended on AF, and I do use them myself and never had any problems.

I don't know what version I have I'm afraid. I purchased a refurbed model in the UK. I've managed to circumvent the play store issue by using the website that mikedt suggested, but that is obviously not an ideal solution.Do you have an Indian or Chinese version of the phone but you are not based there? I don't understand why you're having this problem. You can check your Mi / Xiaomi account in Settings.
I posted before and don't have issues with either of my two Xiaomi global models.
As it happens over the last two weeks I had to install WhatsApp for a new Chinese client (Im a chauffeur, barely working) but find WhatsApp restrictive as I don't want other people to contact me with it while this guy goes back to China for 3 weeks after 3+ years.
I may raise a thread about WhatsApp myself.
Try: About Phone - Detailed Info and Specs - Model number. If it ends in a G you have the correct Global version.I don't know what version I have I'm afraid. I purchased a refurbed model in the UK.
