How to permanently remove alerts about recording a conversation on Xiaomi Redmi: the complete guide

Notifications about recording phone conversations on Xiaomi Redmi smartphones can annoy both you and your interlocutors. Especially if the feature is activated accidentally or works in the background without your knowledge. Unlike many other Android devices where recording calls is either missing or easily disabled, MIUI firmware has its own nuances - from hidden settings to system restrictions depending on the region.

In this article, we’ll look at all possible ways to disable call recording alerts, including standard methods via phone menus, editing system files (for advanced users), and even ADB-It is important to understand that some decisions may require root rights or disable signature verification. MIUI — These are risky manipulations that we will consider with warnings about the consequences.

If you are using Redmi Note 10/11/12, Redmi 9/10 or newer models on MIUI 13/14, most of the instructions will be relevant. For older versions (MIUI 11 and below), some points may differ - we will point to this separately.

Why do we have alerts about recording a conversation?

In MIUI, the call recording function is integrated at the system level, and its behavior depends on several factors:

• 📱 Regional settings: In some countries (e.g. India, Russia) call recording is accompanied by a voice notification to comply with privacy laws.
• 🔧 Version. MIUI: V MIUI 12 and newer logic of work has changed - alerts can be duplicated in the status bar and through voice assistant.
• 🎤 Third-party applications: If you have installed alternative recording programs (such as Cube Call Recorder), they may conflict with the system function.
• 🔄 Security updates: After updates MIUI Sometimes the privacy settings are reset and the record is enabled automatically.

The worst part is that even if you turn off the recording in the settings, in some regions, MIUI compulsorily plays a recording notification at the beginning of each call, regardless of your preferences, and this is due to legal requirements, but you can get around the restriction.

⚠️ Note: In India and some EU countries, disabling call recording notifications may violate local data protection laws.

Method 1: Disabling Call Recording in Standard MIUI Settings

Let's start with the simplest method, which works on most Redmi models without any further manipulation, and it's important that the path to settings may vary slightly depending on the MIUI version.

Open the phone app, then:

1. Tap it on three points (⋮) top-right → Select Settings.
2. Go to the section Recording conversations (or Call Recording in English firmware).
3. Turn off the Record switch automatically (if it is active).
4. Below, find the Recording Announcement option and turn it off.

If there is no Record Notice, your version of MIUI does not support disabling it through the menu, in which case you can proceed to the next method.

Is there a "Talk Record" section in the settings?

Is the "Notice of Record" option activated?

Method 2: Reset the settings of the “Phone” application

If a standard shutdown didn't work, the problem could be cache or incorrect settings on the system application, and resetting it would return it to factory settings, but it wouldn't delete the call history.

Follow the following steps:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find your phone (or phone) and tap it.
3. Select Warehouse → Clear the cache and Reset the settings.
4. Restart the phone and check if the notification has disappeared.

This method often helps if alerts appear after a MIUI update or installing third-party recording apps, and if the problem persists, it is at the firmware level.

⚠️ Attention: Resetting the Phone app can remove your custom ringing and vibration melodies. save important settings in advance.

Method 3: Using ADB to disable system notifications

If the previous methods didn't work, you'll have to resort to more radical measures, and one of the most effective ways is to turn off system notifications through the Internet. ADB (Android Debug Bridge. It doesn't require root rights, but it will require a computer and a computer. USB-cable.

Be prepared first:

• 🖥️ Install. ADB Tools on PC.
• 📱 Turn on Debugging. USB on the phone: Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI (Tap 7 times to unlock Developer Settings, then go back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB.
• 🔌 Connect Redmi to your computer and confirm debugging permission.

Now run commands in the terminal (or cmd):

adb shell


settings put global call_recording_announcement_enabled 0

If the command is correct, restart the phone. Record notifications should disappear. If not, try an alternative command:

adb shell


pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.incallui/.InCallAnnouncement

This command disables the system component responsible for voice alerts. Please note that after the MIUI update, the settings may reset.

💡

If ADB Does not recognize the device, try reinstalling Xiaomi drivers or using another USB-cable (preferably original).

Method 4: Edit system files (root only)

This method is only suitable for users with an unlocked bootloader and Magisk installed (or other root solution), and involves editing system files, which can lead to unstable phone operation.

If you are willing to take a risk, follow the instructions:

1. Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
2. Go to /system/csc/others.xml (or /system/csc/feature.xml in some firmware).
3. Find the line with the CallRecordingAnnouncement option and change the value from true to false.
4. Save the file, set the rights to 644 (rw-r--r---) and restart the phone.

If the file others.xml Try to find a similar parameter in /system/build.prop or /vendor/build.prop. Add a line:

ro.config.call_recording_announcement=false

⚠️ Warning: Incorrect editing of system files can lead to bootloop ( looped boot).Before changes, back up through TWRP Or OrangeFox.

Method 5: Install an alternative call app

If system methods don’t work, you can bypass the limitations of MIUI by installing a third-party call app, such as Google Phone or Truecaller, which have their own recording mechanisms without forced notifications.

Instructions:

1. Download Google Phone from Google Play.
2. Set it with the default app: Settings → Apps → Default → Phone.
3. In the settings of Google Phone, turn off the call recording or configure it at your discretion.

The downside of this method is that some MIUI features (such as Mi Account or Quick Ball integration) may not work properly, and Google Phone does not support call recording on all Redmi models.

What do you do if nothing helps?

If none of these methods work, radical measures remain:

• 🔄 Reflashing to the global version MIUI: In some regional firmware (e.g. India), the recording notifications are hard-wired into the system. ROM can solve the problem.
• 📱 Factory reset: The last measure that will bring the phone back to its original state.
• 🛠️ Contacting the service center: If the phone is warranty, and the problem is caused by a hardware failure (for example, a malfunction of the microphone), it is better to contact specialists.

It’s also worth checking if your Redmi model is part of Xiaomi’s mandatory call recording pilot (e.g., some Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G shipments for India), in which case the software methods may not work.

💡

If you live in a region where call recording is regulated by law (such as India or the EU), disabling notifications can be technically blocked, in which case the only legal way is to use third-party apps with customized alerts.
