How to set up a quick dial on Xiaomi: all the ways to MIUI 14/15

Are you spending precious seconds searching for contacts in a phone book? Xiaomi smartphones based on MIUI 14/15 offer several ways to speed up dialing, from classic fast dialing to voice commands and gestures. In this article, we will analyze all working methods, including hidden functions that are not written in the official instructions.

The MIUI feature is that the quick dial interface can be different even on devices of the same line (for example, the Redmi Note 12 vs Xiaomi 13T). We tested all methods on the current firmware in 2026 and highlighted those that work consistently. If you need to call frequently used numbers in one click, read on.

1. Classic fast dial through the app "Phone"

The most obvious but often ignored way is the built-in Quick Dial feature in the standard Phone app, which is available on all Xiaomi smartphones, including the budget Redmi and Poco, but is disabled by default.

To activate it:

1. Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
2. Go to the Contacts tab (bottom of the screen).
3. Tap the three-point menu (⋮) top-right.
4. Select Settings → Quick set.
5. Turn on the switch to show a quick dial.

Now, when you open the Set tab in the Phone app, you will see a 9-cell panel (2 to 9) where you can attach frequently used contacts. On models with MIUI 15, there is also a voice dial button here if the Xiaomi Voice Assistant feature is enabled.

2. Quick dial through the widget on the home screen

If you need to call literally one tap without opening the Phone app, use the Quick Dial widget. It supports up to 4 contacts and updates in real time (for example, if the subscriber changes number).

How to add a widget:

1. Click the empty space on the main screen.
2. In the bottom panel, select Widgets.
3. Scroll the list to the Tools block.
4. Find the Quick Dial widget (the phone phone handset and numbers icon).
5. Drag it to the free screen space.

Once added, tap the widget to select contacts. On the Xiaomi 14 and Redmi Note 13 Pro+, the widget supports dynamic icons - if a contact is on the Mi Account network, its avatar will appear directly on the widget.
