is it possible to lock "mobile data on"?

I'm asking for my 73 year old mother, she has cognitive problems and often she goes into settings and disables things.
Is it possible to have "mobile data" locked in on position? or remove "mobile data" from the shortcut screen?

Hello TheTenth,

I understand how important it is to ensure that essential phone functions like mobile data remain active, especially in the situation you described with your mother. For Xiaomi devices, there are a couple of approaches you can consider to prevent unintentional toggling of mobile data.

1. **Using a Third-Party App**: There are apps available on the Google Play Store that can help lock certain features or settings. Apps like "AppLock" can be used to put a password on specific settings, including the mobile data switch. This way, whenever she attempts to access these settings, she would be prompted to enter a password.

2. **Simplifying the User Interface**: Xiaomi's MIUI has a "Lite Mode" which simplifies the user interface significantly, making it easier for those who may get confused by too many options. This mode can limit what is displayed on the shortcut screen and even in the settings panel.

Could you please let me know the exact model of the Xiaomi phone your mother is using? It will help me provide more specific instructions or alternative solutions that may suit your situation better.
