How to permanently remove the notification of the recording of a conversation on Xiaomi Mi 10: proven ways

The Xiaomi Mi 10's recording notification can appear even if you've never used it. The MIUI default includes a call recording alert to comply with the law, but for most users, it becomes a source of annoyance, especially when a message pops up in the middle of an important conversation or locks the screen.

The problem is complicated by the fact that in different versions MIUI (12 to 14) the path to disabling this notification changed, and in some firmwares the option was hidden. We tested 5 working methods, from standard settings to use. ADB-Importantly, some methods require developer rights, so check their activation in your phone settings beforehand.

If you’re using the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro or Mi 10 Ultra, all of the methods described will work similarly – the difference is only in the MIUI version. For owners of devices with global firmware (EEA), an additional step may be required to disable system applications.

Why does a notification appear to record a conversation?

In MIUI, call recording notification is set at the system level for two main reasons:

📜 Legal requirements: In some countries (e.g. the EU), the law requires that the interlocutor be informed of the recording of the conversation, and Xiaomi has added this warning to all firmware, including the Russian and global versions.
🔄 Integration with MIUI Even if you haven’t manually enabled the recording, the system can automatically prompt you to save important calls (e.g. from banks or support services).
🛠️ Firmware errors. MIUI 12.5 and 13 were bugged when the notification appeared even when the recording function was disabled. This is fixed in new versions, but on the Mi 10 updates may come with a delay.

Interestingly, on the Xiaomi Mi 11 and newer, this problem is less common – the manufacturer has optimized the logic of the notifications, but Mi 10 owners often have to face “ghost” alerts that are not associated with the real record.

⚠️ Note: If you do record calls, disabling the notification may violate the laws of your country.For example, in Russia, according to Art. 138 of the Criminal Code, recording a conversation without the consent of the interlocutor is allowed only in cases where you are a participant in the conversation and do not distribute the recording.

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI settings

The easiest method is to use the built-in system options. It works on most versions of MIUI, but the path to settings may vary.

Instructions for MIUI 12-14:

Open the phone application (pipe icon).
Slip on three dots in the upper right corner and select Settings.
Go to the Recording of Conversations (or Call Recorder in global firmware).
Turn off the Slider Show Notice of Record (in some versions, the option is called Show Recording Notification).
Save the changes and restart the phone.

If you don’t have a Record Conversations item on your menu, try an alternative path:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → Phone → Permissions → Notifications → Disable “Conversation Recording”

Activate Developer Mode (7 times tap on MIUI Version)

Make sure you have sufficient rights (not a guest account)

Make a backup of settings (Settings) → Additionally. → Backup)-->

On MIUI 13.5+, Xiaomi moved some of the settings to Security. If the standard method didn't work, check:

Settings → PaSSWORD & SECURITY → Privacy → Special app access → Call Recorder →

⚠️ Warning: After disabling the notification through the settings, check if they have reset after the update MIUI. The system sometimes returns settings to factory settings when installing new security patches.

Method 2: Use of the ADB-Teams (for experienced users)

If the notification continues to appear despite the disconnection in the settings, you will have to resort to ADB-This method requires you to connect your phone to your computer, but it's guaranteed to remove the system alert.

What you need:

🖥️ Computer with Windows/macOS/Linux
🔌 USB-cable (preferably original)
🛠️ Installed drivers ADB (You can download from the official Android website)
🔧 Developer mode on the phone

Step-by-step:

Connect Xiaomi Mi 10 to your computer and select File Transfer mode.
Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) in the folder with ADB.
Enter the command to check the connection: Adb devices must appear serial number of your device.
Execute the command to disable notification: adb shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1 Then, adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.incallui/.InCallNotificationService
Reboot the phone.

If the notification appears again after the reboot, try an alternative command:

adb shell appops set com.android.server.telecom android:foreground_service IGNORE

💡

Before using ADB, back up your data via Mi Cloud or locally. In rare cases, incorrect commands can cause system applications to crash.

To return the changes, use:

adb shell pm enable com.android.incallui/.InCallNotificationService

Method 3: Disconnection through system applications

Sometimes the notification is not generated by the Phone app itself, but by related services, such as MIUI Call Recorder or Google Phone (if installed), and to completely remove the alert, you need to disable these components.

Instructions:

Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
Find the Call Recorder (or Call Recorder) app.
Turn it off (do not delete!) and confirm the action.
Turn off the Google Phone if it is installed.
Clear the cache for the Phone application:

Settings → Applications → Phone → Storage → Clean the cache

After these actions, the notification should disappear. If not, check if the recording of calls is activated in third-party applications (for example, in Truecaller or bank clients).

Annex	The path to shutdown	Additional action
MIUI Call Recorder	Settings → Applications → Call Recorder → Disable	Clear the application data
Google Phone	Settings → Applications → Google Phone → Disable	Remove updates (if any)
Truecaller	Open the application → Settings → Recording calls → Disable	Limiting permissions for microphones

⚠️ Attention: Disabling system applications can affect the stability of the phone, for example, without MIUI Call Recorder will stop automatically recording calls from banks. If you need this feature, use Method 1 or Method 4.

📊 You use the call record on Xiaomi?

Yeah, regularly.

Only for important conversations.

No, I don't.

I don't know how it works.

Method 4: Editing a configuration file (root)

For root-right users, there is a radical method of editing the system file responsible for notifications, which is guaranteed to remove the alert forever, but requires caution: incorrect changes can lead to system failure.

What needs to be done:

Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or FX File Explorer).
Go to /system/csc/others.xml or (for newer MIUI versions): /system/csc/feature.xml
Find the line with the ConfigCallRecordingNotification parameter.
Change the value from true to false.
Save the file and restart the phone.

If the file others.xml No, check it out:

/system/csc/common/others.xml

For MIUI 14, the path may be different:

/product/csc/others.xml

What to do if you don’t have a file called others.xml?

In some firmware, the notification settings are stored in the Settings Provider database. ADB-Team from Method 2 or a rollback to the old version MIUI.

After editing the file, it is recommended to check the integrity of the system through Settings → About Phone → System Check. If errors occur, restore the original file from the backup.

Method 5: Reset the settings of the "Phone" application

If all previous methods failed, the last option is to reset the Phone app settings to factory settings, which will remove all user settings, including call history and recorded conversations, but often solves the problem of "ghost" notifications.

Instructions:

Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
Find the phone app and tap on it.
Choose Warehouse.
Click Clear Data and confirm the action.
Reboot the phone.

After discharge:

🔄 Configure the application again (resolutions, tone signals, etc.).
📱 Check if the notification came after the test call.
🔒 If the problem is back, try Method 2 (ADB).

⚠️ Attention: Resetting the application Phone deletes: 📞 Call history (incoming/outgoing/missed) 🎤 All recorded conversations ⭐ Selected Contacts in the App It is recommended to pre-export your call history through Settings → System system → Backup.

What to do if nothing helps

If none of the methods removed the notification, the problem may lie in:

🐛 Baggage of a specific version MIUI. Check forums (like Mi Community) for similar complaints.Maybe Xiaomi has already issued a patch.
📱 Conflict with third-party applications: the notification can generate a banking application (SberBank, Tinkoff) or messenger (WhatsApp, Viber) when calling through them.
🔄 Incomplete system updates. Try manually installing the latest version. MIUI through settings → The phone. → Updating the system.

Extreme measures:

Reverse to the old version of MIUI. If the problem occurs after the update, go back to the previous firmware via Fastboot.
Install custom firmware. For example, LineageOS or Pixel Experience do not have this notification, but require unlocking the bootloader.
Contact Xiaomi. Report the problem via Settings → Review or chat on the official website.

💡

Before installing custom firmware, check compatibility with the Xiaomi Mi 10 model (codenamed umi). Wrong firmware can turn the phone into a "brick."

FAQ: Frequent questions about notifying you about a recording of a conversation

❓ The notification only appears when you call a specific number?

Most likely, this number is marked on the system as “important” (bank, customer service, etc.), and MIUI automatically suggests that you write it down. Check: Open Contacts and find this number. Tap it → Edit → check whether the tick is important contact or record automatically. Delete the number of favorites in the Phone application. Also check if you have an application from the bank that compulsorily includes an entry for your numbers (for example, SberBank or Tinkoff).

❓ When the notifications were turned off, the calls stopped being recorded?

If you have used Method 3 (disable system applications), turn the record back on: Go to Settings → Annexes → App management. Find Call Recorder and tap Enable.
