How to remove the alert about the recording of a conversation on Xiaomi Redmi: the complete guide

Notification of recording phone conversations on Xiaomi Redmi smartphones comes unexpectedly and often causes confusion among users. Many people mistakenly believe that their calls are automatically recorded by the system, when in fact it is just an information message about the possibility of recording.

In this article, we will look at all the possible causes of notification, official and informal ways to disable it, as well as the nuances associated with different versions of MIUI and Redmi models. It is important to understand that the solution depends on the source of the problem: it can be either a standard function of the system, or the action of a third-party application or even a carrier. We will look at each scenario separately so that you can choose the most suitable method.

Why is there an alert about the recording of the conversation?

Before you delete a notification, you need to understand its nature. In MIUI (Xiaomi firmware), a notification about a recording of a conversation can occur for several reasons:

• 📱 System Call Recording – in some regions (e.g. India, China) MIUI By default, it includes a notification of the possibility of recording, even if the record itself is not kept.
• 🔄 Update of the firmware - after the update MIUI Hidden features may be activated, including privacy alerts.
• 📲 Third-party applications – call recording programs (e.g. Cube Call Recorder, Truecaller) sometimes conflict with system settings.
• 📡 Operator requirements – in some countries, mobile operators are required to inform subscribers about the possibility of recording (for example, according to local laws).
• 🔧 Confidentiality settings - in MIUI 12+ There are advanced security notification options that can work during calls.

The most common reason is the privacy notices feature, which does not record conversations, but only informs people about this possibility (similar to "This call may be recorded" in some countries), but in the Redmi Note 10/11 and other models with MIUI 13/14, this notification can appear even when the recording is turned off.

Method 1: Disabling notifications in call settings

The easiest method is to check the settings of the phone application, and in most cases, the alert is managed through the Call Settings menu:

1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
2. Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Settings.
3. Go to Recording Conversations or Recording Notices (the name may vary depending on the version of MIUI).
4. Turn off the slider next to Show Notice of Record or Inform the interlocutor.
5. Save the changes and restart the phone.

If there is no such item, try an alternative path:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → Phone → Notifications → Disable “Record Notices”

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware (MIUI Global for European Region, the section with the recording notifications may be hidden, in which case try to change the region in the phone settings to India (see Method 3).

Method 2: Remove Call Recording Applications

If system settings don't work, the problem may lie in third-party programs. Many call recording applications (even those that aren't actively used) leave services on the system that generate notifications to remove them:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. In the search bar, enter the keywords: recorder, call.
3. Remove all applications associated with recording calls (e.g. Cube Call Recorder, ACR, Truecaller).
4. After removal, clean the cache of the system application Phone:

Settings → Applications → Phone → Storage → Clean the cache

If you are not sure which app is to blame, check the permissions:

Settings → Privacy → Permissions → Microphone

If the notification remains after deleting the applications, check the MIUI/CallRecorder folder in the phone's internal memory. The presence of.amr or.mp3 files will confirm that the recording was done by third-party software.

Method 3: Change the region of the system (for hidden settings)

In some versions of MIUI (especially Global and EEA), call recording options are hidden due to regional restrictions, and to unlock them, you can temporarily change the system region to India, where these features are available by default.

1. Open Settings → Additional → Language and Region.
2. Click on Region and select India.

If the recording settings section doesn’t appear after the region change, try updating the Phone app via Google Play or Mi App Store. Sometimes the latest version of the software is required to activate hidden features.

Method 4: Use ADB-Teams (for experienced users)

If standard methods don't work, you can turn off the notification via ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which requires connecting the phone to a computer and basic command line knowledge, and the advantage of the method is that it works even on locked firmware.

To start, turn on USB debugging:

Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times to activate Developer Mode)


Settings → Additional → For developers → Debugging by USB (enable)

Next, connect the phone to the PC and execute the commands:

adb shell


settings put global call_recording_notification_enabled 0




settings put global call_recording_auto_start 0

If the notification is connected to the MiuiCallRecorder system application, disable it by force:

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


adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.voiceassist
