Where to look for conversation records on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro: all ways to access

If you’re looking for where to find conversation records on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, you’re probably faced with one of two situations: either you’ve been recording yourself and can’t find the file, or you want to recover randomly deleted audio recordings. Unlike new Xiaomi models, where call recording is often integrated into the standard Phone app, the Redmi Note 9 Pro (released in 2020) works differently.

In this article, we’ll look at all possible storage locations, from standard folders to hidden system directories, and how to recover deleted files if they’re not already overwritten. It’s important to understand that Redmi Note 9 Pro has default call recording disabled due to legal restrictions in some countries. So if you haven’t installed third-party apps, there’s probably no record.

1. Standard storage location: Recordings folder in internal memory

If you used the built-in write feature (available in some regions), then files should automatically be saved to the folder:

/storage/emulated/0/Recordings/

To get there:

1. Open the Files app (Blue folder icon).
2. Go to the Device (Internal Memory) tab.
3. Find the Recordings folder – if it is not, then there were no records through standard software.

The files here are formatted.m4a or.amr and names of the species Call_20260515_143022 (If the folder is empty, check other locations - you may have used a third-party app.

💡

If there is no Recordings folder, try enabling the display of hidden files in the Files application settings (three dots in the upper right corner → Settings → Show hidden files).

2. entries from third-party applications: where to look?

If you have installed applications to record calls (such as Cube Call Recorder, ACR, or Call Recorder), the files may be stored in:

• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[name-packet]/files/ — standard place for most recording programs.
• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/Download/CallRecordings/ — Some apps create a separate folder in downloads.
• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/[title annex]/ - for example, /ACR/ or /CubeBackups/.

To find the exact folder:

1. Open the app that recorded the calls.
2. Go to its settings (usually an icon) ⚙️).
3. Find the Save folder or Warehouse section, and the path will be indicated there.

Important: Some applications (e.g, ACR) allow you to choose a format of storage - cloud, internal memory or SD-If you've chosen the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox), look for the records there.

3. Search through the Files app: filter by type

If you don’t remember where the records were saved, use the built-in search:

1. Open the Files app.
2. At the top of the search, type.m4a or.amr, which are the most common formats for recording calls.
3. If nothing is found, try calling or record – some apps add these tags to the file name.

You can also filter files by date:

• 📅 Go to the Category tab → Audio.
• 🔍 Sort by date (Last) – call records are usually small (1-10 MB) and last from 30 seconds.

Check the folder. /Recordings/|Search by formats.m4a and.amr|View the folders of third-party applications|Filter audio files by date-->

4. Hidden system folders: where else can the records be?

Some applications (especially those that require root rights) store entries in hidden directories to see them:

1. Open the files. → press ⋮ (three-point) → Settings → Enable Show hidden files.
2. Check the following paths: /storage/emulated/0/.CallRecordings//data/user/0/[name packet application]/files/

On the Redmi Note 9 Pro, access to /data/ folder is limited, but some files may be duplicated in /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/.

If you’re using MIUI 12-14, try searching through Settings → Memory → Files – sometimes displaying system data that is not available through standard Explorer.

5. Recovery of deleted records: is it possible?

If you accidentally delete the recordings, you can try to restore them using specialized programs.
