How to turn off the warning on the recording of a conversation in Xiaomi: all ways

Xiaomi MIUI-based smartphones automatically notify the person they are recording a phone call, a requirement of many countries’ laws. However, such notification can be confusing or annoying, especially if you are recording calls for personal use. In this article, all proven ways to disable the recording alert, including official and alternative methods.

Xiaomi's conversation recording function works at the system level, so simply removing the Dictator app won't help. MIUI 13/14 developers have tightened control over this feature, but there are workarounds, from editing system settings to using it. ADB-It is important to understand that some methods require superuser rights or may result in a warranty reset.

Before you start making changes, check the version of MIUI in Settings → About Phone → MIUI. This is the choice of method. Also note that after the system update, some settings may reset.

1.Official method: disabling notification in the application settings

The easiest and safest method is to use the built-in Dictophone app options.It works on most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models with MIUI 12 and later, but does not guarantee 100% results on all firmware.

Open the Dictaphone app and go to the call record section. In some versions of MIUI, the path may be different:

Recorder → Settings (⚙) → Recording of calls → Recording Notice

So here you'll see the Notify the other person switch, turn it off, and then the system will stop playing the voice warning before recording, but the recording itself can still be displayed in the status bar of the call.

⚠️ Note: On some models (for example, Xiaomi 13 Pro or Redmi Note 12 with) MIUI 14) this switch may be blocked by the gray settings, in which case proceed to the following methods.

• ✅ It works without root rights.
• ✅ It does not require a PC connection.
• ❌ It may not be on Chinese firmware.
• ❌ Does not cancel the visual notification in the call interface

2. editing the configuration file via ADB

If standard settings don’t help, you can change system settings using Android Debug Bridge (ADB).This method requires connecting the smartphone to your computer, but does not violate the warranty (unlike unlocking the bootloader).

First, turn on the USB debugging:

Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (click 7 times until you see “You became a developer”)


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

Install. ADB-Tools on PC, connect the phone and execute in the command line:

adb shell settings put global call_recording_notification_enabled 0

To apply the changes, restart the device. If the command does not work, try an alternative:

adb shell settings put global call_recording_notification 0

Install Xiaomi drivers on PC

Enable debugging over USB on your phone

Download the ADB platform tools

Connect your phone to the original cable-->

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI These commands can be reset after the system update, and the manufacturer can block such changes in new versions of the software.

3. Use of third-party applications for recording

If system methods don’t work, you can get around the restrictions with third-party apps from Google Play, the main advantage being that they don’t depend on built-in MIUI mechanisms and often offer more customization.

Recommended annexes:

• 🎤 Cube ACR — It records calls without notification, supports cloud storage, and it can interfere with the system recorder.
• 📞 Call Recorder by Lovekesh is a simple interface, automatic recording by numbers.
• 🔊 Truecaller – in addition to the number detector, it has a built-in call record (does not work in all regions).

Before installation, turn off the system call record:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → Dictator → Disable

⚠️ Note: Some applications (e.g. Cube) ACR) Require permission to access notifications (Settings) → Annexes → Special access → Without that, they won't be able to record calls to MIUI 13/14.

💡

Before using third-party recording apps, check their reputation on Google Play.Some programs may collect personal data or show hidden ads.

4. Rooting and editing system files

For advanced users, there's a radical method of rooting a smartphone and editing system files that allows you to completely remove the recording notification, but has serious consequences:

• 🚨 Loss of guarantee
• 🔒 Security breach risk (e.g. for Xiaomi Pay)
• 🔄 Possible problems with OTA-update

If you are ready for this, follow the instructions:

1. Unlock the bootloader through the official Xiaomi tool.
2. Install custom recovery (such as TWRP).
3. Please use Magisk to obtain root rights.
4. With Root Explorer, find the file. /system/csc/others.xml And change the parameter: <CscFeature_Call_VoiceRecording>Disable</CscFeature_Call_VoiceRecording>

After editing system files, be sure to clear the partition cache (Wipe) → Dalvik/ART Cache in TWRP), Otherwise, the changes may not be effective.

5. Alternative solutions: recording via a second phone or headset

If software methods are not suitable, you can record conversations with external devices:

• 📱 Second smartphone: put another phone next to you with the recorder on.
• 🎧 Headset with recording: some Bluetooth headsets (for example, Sony) WH-1000XM5) have a built-in dictaphone.
• 💻 Computer: Connect your phone to your PC via Scrcpy and record sound from the microphone.

These methods bypass all system limitations of MIUI, but require additional equipment, the main advantage is the complete absence of notifications for the interlocutor, since the recording is conducted outside the phone.

⚠️ Note: In some countries (e.g. Russia), recording conversations without notifying the interlocutor may violate the Personal Data Act (152-FZ), and use this method only for personal needs and with the consent of the participants in the conversation.

6. Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them

When trying to disable a record notification, users often encounter typical problems:

• 🔄 Settings reset after update: this is normal behavior MIUI. After the update, repeat it. ADB-commands or set up a third-party application.
• 🔊 Warning plays, but recording is not saved: check permissions for the Dictophone app (Settings) → Annexes → Dictaphone → Permits).
• 📵 ADB Does not see the device: install the original Xiaomi drivers and use high-quality USB-cable (better from the set).

If after all the manipulations the notification continues to play, check:

Settings → Sound → System Sounds → Notifications about recording calls

In some regional firmware (for example, for India), this parameter is duplicated in several menus.

💡

On smartphones with MIUI Global and MIUI Europe, the chances of successfully disabling notification are higher than on Chinese (CN) firmware, where the recording function is strictly tied to legal requirements.
