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 β from simple settings in the phone menu to use ADB-All methods tested on Redmi Note 10 (model mojito/sunny) versioned MIUI 12.5β14 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:
- π± 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»).
- π Regional firmware settings in some countries (India, EU) MIUI Default: Reveals a notification about the possibility of recording β regardless of its actual use.
- π 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.
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.
- Open the Phone app (the tube icon on the home screen).
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner β select Settings.
- Go to the Recording of conversations (or Call recording in English).
- Turn off Auto Record slider and remove all rules for individual contacts.
- 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 BanMake 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-->
β οΈ 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.
- Go to Settings. β Additionally. β Region.
- Select a country where the law does not require recording notifications (e.g., Russia, the United States, or Taiwan).
- Confirm the change and restart the phone.
- 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 region | Showing 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) |
β οΈ 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.
- Open Settings β Applications β Application Management.
- Find the Phone app (or com.android.dialer) and select it.
- Click Warehouse β Clear the data and Clear the cache.
- 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).
π‘
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 donβt 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:
- 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
- Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
- Download ADB Tools and unpack the archive.
- 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
- 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 canβt see the device?
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:
- π Google Phone is the official app from Google without unnecessary notice. Requires installation via APKMirror (in some regions not available in the Play Market).
- π Truecaller β blocks spam and does not show notifications about the record (but collects contact data).
- π‘οΈ Simple Dialer is a minimalist, open source application (no advertising or tracking).
To make the third-party application the main one:
- Install the selected application from the Play Market or APK-file.
- Go to Settings β Applications β Default β Calling App.
- Select a new app and confirm the change.

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.
