Disable the notification of the recording of the conversation on Xiaomi: all ways for MIUI

If you use a Xiaomi smartphone with MIUI firmware, you’ve probably encountered automatic notification of a conversation recording, which appears every time you call, if you have laws in your area that require you to inform your interlocutor, but constant alerts can be annoying — especially when you’re not recording conversations consciously.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can disable this notification, from standard settings to hidden developer settings. Note that some methods require root rights or system files to be changed, which can affect the device’s warranty and stability.

It’s important to understand that MIUI is regularly updated and menu items may change, and we’ve compiled up-to-date instructions for MIUI 12-14 and the latest Xiaomi models, including Redmi and POCO. If your firmware version is very outdated, some techniques may not work.

Why is there a notification about the recording of the conversation?

Notifying you about a call recording is not just a MIUI function, but a requirement of many countries’ laws, for example, in Russia since 2021, there are rules that require you to inform the interlocutor about the recording. Xiaomi firmware automatically turns on this notification, even if you do not use the built-in voice recorder.

Reasons for the report:

• 📱 Built-in recording function in the application Phone activated by default.
• 🌍 Regional settings of the device (for example, Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus).
• 🔄 Update MIUI, After which the user settings are reset.
• 🤖 Third-party applications for recording calls that conflict with the system.

Interestingly, on some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro or Redmi Note 12), the notification can appear even when the recording is turned off - this is a firmware bug. In such cases, only completely disabling the function through hidden settings helps.

Method 1: Disconnect via the settings of the “Phone” application

The easiest method is to use the built-in settings, which works on most devices with MIUI 12-14 and does not require additional permissions.

1. Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
3. Go to the Call Record section (on some models – Call Record).
4. Turn off the Automatic Recording slider (if it is active).
5. Below, find the Notice of Record and deactivate it.

If the Notice of Record is not on the menu, it's hidden on your model, in which case, try the following method.

Is the automatic recording disabled?|Have regional settings been checked?|Is the “Telephone” app updated"?|Reboot the device after the changes?-->

Method 2: Change regional settings

The recording notification is often region-specific, and if your smartphone is set to Russia, Kazakhstan, or another country with strict call recording rules, the system will force the alert to be displayed.

1. Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Region.
2. Select a country where there are no mandatory notifications, for example: 🇺🇸 USA 🇬🇧 UK 🇩🇪 Germany 🇫🇷 France

reboot

After you change region, check if the notification has disappeared. If not, return the previous settings and try another method.

⚠️ Note: Changes in region may affect some services (e.g. Mi Pay or Mi Cloud), and pre-installed applications and system language may also change.

Method 3: Disconnect via ADB (without root)

If standard methods don't work, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which is Google's official tool that allows you to change system settings without getting root permissions.

1. Turn on USB Debugging: Go to Settings → About Phone. Tap 7 times on MIUI to activate Developer Mode. Go back to Settings → Additional → Developer. Activate USB Debugging.

Command line.

Terminal

adb shell settings put global call_recording_notification_enabled 0

Reset the device.

If the team doesn’t work, try an alternative:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.incallui/.InCallNotificationService

This command disables the call notification service, but can affect other features (e.g., displaying incoming calls).

💡

Before using ADB, back up your data. If the phone starts to work unstable after the commands, reset to factory settings.

Method 4: Editing system files (root required)

For advanced users who are ready to get root rights, there is a radical method - editing system files, which removes the notification permanently, but can disrupt the firmware if you change it incorrectly.

1. Get root access with Magisk or SuperSU.
2. Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or FX File Explorer).
3. Go to /system/priv-app/InCallUI/InCallUI.apk/res/xml/
4. Find the file. call_recording_config.xml Open it in the text editor.
5. Change the parameter. <bool name="enable_recording_notification">true</bool> falsely.
6. Save the file, set the rights to 644 (rw-r--r---) and restart the device.

When using third-party voice recorders, make sure they comply with the laws of your country, and some applications may store records on their servers, which poses a risk of data leakage.

What do you do if nothing helps?

If none of these methods worked, maybe the problem is the firmware itself.

1. Update MIUI to the latest version – new builds often fix bugs with notifications.
2. Install custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience) that doesn’t have forced notifications.
3. Reset the settings to factory (pre-make a backup!).
4. Contact Xiaomi for support – sometimes the notification appears due to a failure in your Mi Account.

If you use Xiaomi at work and the notification is critically intrusive, consider buying a device with a pure Android (like a Google Pixel or Samsung with One UI).

💡

On devices with MIUI Global, the notification of recording a conversation appears due to legal requirements, and it can only be completely removed through editing system files or changing the firmware.
