How to turn off the warning record conversation in Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: all ways

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 owners regularly face annoying notifications about recording phone conversations - even if this feature has never been used.The "Conversation is recorded" message appears on every call, interferes with communication and raises questions about privacy.The reason lies in the features of MIUI firmware and the legal requirements of some countries, but the solution to the problem exists.

In this article, we will discuss 5 Proven ways to remove the warning – from simple settings in the phone menu to use ADB-All methods tested on Redmi Note 10 (model mojito/sunny) versioned MIUI 12.5–14 Importantly, some solutions can only work after you reboot your device or reset the phone appΒ».

Why does a notification appear to record a conversation?

The alert is activated for three main reasons, and only one of them is related to the actual recording of calls:

  • πŸ“± Phone Recording enabled. Even if you didn't press the record button, the system can save conversations automatically (for example, for all contacts from FavoritesΒ»).
  • 🌍 Regional firmware settings in some countries (India, EU) MIUI Default: Reveals a notification about the possibility of recording – regardless of its actual use.
  • πŸ”„ com.android.incallui: After updates or resets, the system may misinterpret the recording status.

Interestingly, the Redmi Note 10 Pro and POCO X3 Pro (with similar hardware) are less likely to have problems with MIUI builds across different lines. If you have custom firmware installed (like the Pixel Experience), the notification may disappear after flashing.

πŸ“Š You see a recording notification every time you call?
Yeah, all the time.
Only when outgoing
Only when entering

I don't know.

Method 1: Disabling the recording in the settings of the application "Phone"

The first and most obvious step is to check the settings of the standard call app, and even if you didn't activate the record consciously, it might have turned on after you upgraded or reset.

  1. Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner β†’ select Settings.
  3. Go to the Recording of conversations (or Call recording in English).
  4. Turn off Auto Record slider and remove all rules for individual contacts.
  5. Return to the main settings menu and select Reset app settings.

If the Conversation Record section is missing, your version of MIUI is hiding it, in which case try an alternative path:

Settings β†’ Applications β†’ Application Management β†’ Phone β†’ Permissions β†’ Microphone β†’ Ban

Make sure that the automatic recording is disabled

Remove rules for individual contacts

Reset the settings of the phone application

Check the microphone permits

Reboot the phone-->

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware (MIUI 13.0.4+) Resetting the phone app settings can delete your call history. backup through Settings β†’ Google β†’ Backup.

Method 2: Change the firmware region (without resetting)

The record notification is often tied to regional settings, for example, in the Indian version of MIUI it always appears, and in the global or European version it only appears when the record is real.

  1. Go to Settings. β†’ Additionally. β†’ Region.
  2. Select a country where the law does not require recording notifications (e.g., Russia, the United States, or Taiwan).
  3. Confirm the change and restart the phone.
  4. After the reboot, check if the notification has disappeared during the test call.

If Region is blocked, use the workaround:

Settings β†’ About Phone β†’ MIUI version (click 7 times to unlock)


Settings β†’ Additional β†’ For developers β†’ Select the MIUI region

Firmware regionShowing a notice?Does the recording require permission?
India (IN)Yeah, always.No.
Europe (EEA)Only on the record.Yes.
Global (Global)Only on the record.Yes.
Russia (RU)No.Yes.
China (CN)No.No (but no Google services)

⚠️ Note: Changes in region may affect some services (e.g. Google Pay or banking applications) If you have problems after changing your region, return your preferences to the previous settings.

Method 3: Clearing the Phone application data and cache

If the notification appears because of a system application malfunction, cleaning its data will help, and this method will not delete the call history, but reset the recording settings.

  1. Open Settings β†’ Applications β†’ Application Management.
  2. Find the Phone app (or com.android.dialer) and select it.
  3. Click Warehouse β†’ Clear the data and Clear the cache.
  4. Confirm the action and restart the phone.

After cleaning, check if the recording button appears in the call interface. If so, manually disable it (see Method 1).

πŸ’‘

If the notification returned after cleaning the data, try temporarily installing another call app (like Google Phone) and checking if the problem persists, which will help determine if the system software or hardware feature of the model is to blame.

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 a computer and basic command-line knowledge, but does not need root rights.

Steps:

  1. Enable USB debugging on your phone: Settings β†’ About Phone β†’ MIUI Version (click 7 times) Settings β†’ Additional β†’ For Developers β†’ Debugging on USB
  2. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
  3. Download ADB Tools and unpack the archive.
  4. Open the command line in the adb.exe folder and execute the commands in turn: adb shell settings put global. call_recording_notification_enabled 0
  5. Reboot the phone.

Settings put global call_recording_notification_enabled 0 disables system-level notification, but may reset after update MIUI. If the problem has returned, repeat the procedure.

What if the ADB can’t see the device?
1.Install Xiaomi drivers USB Drivers from the official website. 2. Try another one. USB-cable (preferably original). 3. In the developer menu, enable the option Configuration USB default β†’ File transfer (MTP). 4.Reboot the PC and phone.

Method 5: Install an alternative call app

If the Phone system app persists in showing a notification, replace it with a third-party.The best options for the Redmi Note 10 are:

  • πŸ“ž Google Phone is the official app from Google without unnecessary notice. Requires installation via APKMirror (in some regions not available in the Play Market).
  • πŸ”„ Truecaller – blocks spam and does not show notifications about the record (but collects contact data).
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Simple Dialer is a minimalist, open source application (no advertising or tracking).

To make the third-party application the main one:

  1. Install the selected application from the Play Market or APK-file.
  2. Go to Settings β†’ Applications β†’ Default β†’ Calling App.
  3. Select a new app and confirm the change.

⚠️ Note: Some banking applications (e.g. Sberbank or Tinkoff) may block work on phones with third-party calls.

Alternative call apps not only remove the recording notification, but also add useful features: spam blocking, recording on-demand conversations (without automatic notification), and integration with the Internet. CRM-system.

Additional Advice and Warnings

If none of these methods worked, check:

  • πŸ” Viruses. Some malware applications are replacing system notifications. Scan your phone through Malwarebytes or Dr.Web.
  • πŸ“¦ Conflict with other applications: The notification may be due to call recording software (e.g. Cube Call Recorder or Cube Call Recorder). ACR). Remove them.
  • πŸ”„ Update MIUI. In some cases, the problem is solved after installing the latest firmware version (but may get worse - see the region table above).

If you use Redmi Note 10 with custom firmware (like LineageOS or ArrowOS), the notification can be part of a modified kernel, in which case only flashing to an official MIUI or manually editing the framework-res.apk file (requires root) will help.

FAQ: Frequent questions about the Notification of Recording

❓ Why the notification only appears when incoming calls?
This is because MIUI handles incoming and outgoing calls with different modules. For incoming calls, the default system includes recording check (even if it is disabled). Try Method 4 (ADB) - it disables notification universally.
❓ Can I remove the notification without a computer?
Yes, the first three (application settings, region change, cache clearing) don’t require a PC, and if they don’t work, the alternative is to use apps like Shizuku + AppOps to disable Android notifications (but that’s harder than ADB).
❓ Will the notification return after the update? MIUI?
The probability is high, especially if you used Method 4 (ADB). After major updates (for example, from MIUI 13 to MIUI 14), the settings are reset, and we recommend that you reset the notification after the update.
❓ Are conversations actually recorded when a notification appears?
Not always. Notifications can be false (especially in Indian firmware) To check if the recording is actually going on: After the call, open the File Manager. β†’ Internal memory. β†’ MIUI β†’ sound_recorder. See if there's any new files with a date and time of the call, and if the folder is empty, it's not recorded, and the notification is false.
❓ Why the Redmi Note 10 Pro doesn’t have a problem?
The Redmi Note 10 Pro uses a different version of the Phone app (com.android.dialer instead of com.miui.voicerecord), where the notification logic is implemented differently, and the firmware for Pro models is often updated later and bugs can be fixed.
