Where on Redmi 9 Pro search for recordings of telephone conversations: all ways to access audio files

You've been looking for an important recording of a conversation on Xiaomi Redmi 9 Pro, but you can't find it? The problem is that Xiaomi smartphones store audio files of calls in non-obvious places — and not always in the standard Records folder. In this article, we'll take a look at every possible location where your Redmi 9 Pro might have saved a record, including system folders, cloud services, and even app cache. You'll also learn why records sometimes "disappear" and how to restore them.

It's important to understand that file location depends on how you recorded the conversation. The built-in MIUI call recording function works differently than third-party apps like Cube Call Recorder or ACR. We'll look at both options, and we'll also talk about how to set up automatic record saving in a convenient location so that you don't lose important audio files anymore.

1. Standard storage location: Rec folder in internal memory

If you used the built-in MIUI call record feature (without third-party apps), then there is a 90% chance that your files are located here:

• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/Rec/ — mainfolder MIUI. The file name usually begins with rec_ or call_, followed by the date and time.
• 🔍 /storage/emulated/0/MIUI/sound_recorder/call_rec/ — An alternative path in some firmware versions, where files can have the.amr extension or.mp3.
• 📱 /storage/emulated/0/Download/CallRecordings/ — If you have ever changed the settings of the save location through the engineering menu.

To open this folder:

1. Run any file manager (e.g. Files by Google or Explorer).
2. Go to the internal memory section (not to be confused with the internal memory section). SD-card!).
3. Find the Rec folder, it can be hidden. If it's not, check the other paths in the list above.

💡

If there is no folder, try manually entering the path in the file manager address bar. In MIUI, some system folders are not displayed by default, but can be accessed through direct path input.

Files here are usually.amr (compressed audio format) or.mp3. If your player doesn't play.amr, install VLC or MX Player - they support this format without conversion.

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

If you use third-party software to record calls (such as Cube Call Recorder, ACR, or Call Recorder by Lovekesh), the files will be stored in other folders.

If you don’t remember which app you used, try searching for files by keywords:

• 🔎 Enter the file manager search: call, rec, record or.amr.
• 📅 Sort files by date of change – fresh entries will be at the top of the list.
• 📱 Check the app cache: go to Settings → Annexes → Manage applications, find the program record and click Storage → Cash, sometimes the files stay there.

3. Cloud Storage: Where else might your records be

Many call recording applications automatically sync files to cloud services. Check the following places:

• ☁️ Google Drive: Some applications (such as Cube Call Recorder) can back up records to the CallRecordings or CubeBackup folder.
• 🌐 Mi Cloud: If you have Xiaomi cloud sync enabled, records can be stored in Call Records (not available in all regions).
• 📁 Dropbox/OneDrive: Check your recording app settings – there may be an option to automatically download to the cloud.

How to check the cloud:

1. Open the Google Drive or Mi Cloud app on your phone.
2. In the search box, enter call, rec, or.amr.
3. If there are no files, check the cart – sometimes the records get there because of synchronization failures.

If you find records in the cloud, but they are not playing, try downloading them to your phone - sometimes files are corrupted when you download them.

1. Click on the file in the cloud.
2. Choose Download or Save to the device.
3. Check the downloaded file through the VLC player.

4.Why records disappear: 5 common causes

Many Redmi 9 Pro users are facing a problem: Suddenly calls are missing, and here are the main reasons and ways to prevent them:

• 🧹 Cache cleanup: Write apps often store files in cache.If you cleaned the memory through Settings → Warehouse, records could have been deleted.
• 🔄 Auto-cleaning: in MIUI There is a Garbage Cleanup (Security) feature that can delete old records.
• 📱 Setting reset: After resetting to factory settings, all local records are deleted. Always back up!
• 🔒 Access Rights: If you revoke the recording or storage permissions of the app, no new files will be saved.
• 📲 Update MIUI: After major system updates, folder paths may change, and old records become invisible".

A critical feature of the Redmi 9 Pro is that in this model, call recording is disabled by default due to the limitations of Android 10+. To work, you need to manually turn on the option in the engineering menu or use third-party apps. If you did not set up the recording in advance, your conversations simply did not save!

⚠️ Note: In some regions (e.g. the EU), recording calls without notifying the interlocutor is prohibited by law. Xiaomi may block this feature in firmware for certain countries.

5 How to transfer records to a computer or other device

If you find the records, but you're afraid of losing them, transfer the files to a reliable medium. Here are 3 ways:

• 🖥️ Through USB-cable: Connect Redmi 9 Pro to PC through USB. Select File Transfer Mode (MTP) On a PC, open the folder of the phone and copy the files from the phone. /Rec/ or another recorder.
• ☁️ Through the cloud: Upload files to Google Drive or Mi Cloud. Open the cloud on your PC and download records.
• 📲 Po Po Po Bluetooth/Wi-Fi: Install Send Anywhere or Xender on your phone and PC. Send files wirelessly.

If the files are not copied, check:

• 🔌 Cable USB — It must support data transmission (not all charging cables are suitable).
• 📂 Access rights: on the phone in the notification USB Select File Transfer, not Just Charging.
• 🛡️ Antivirus: Sometimes antivirus programs block access to system folders.

💡

The most reliable way to save records is to export them to your PC or the cloud regularly, and don't rely on your phone's internal memory alone, because files can disappear after a reset or update.

Recovery of deleted records: is it possible?

If the records are gone, you can try to recover them, and success depends on how long it has been since you deleted them and whether you used your phone after that (new data overwrites old data).

Recovery methods:

• 🗑️ Recycle Bin in File Manager: Some applications (like Files by Google) have a Recycle Bin where files are stored for 30 days.
• 🔧 Recovery software: DiskDigger (for Android) – scans internal memory for deleted files. Recuva (for PC) – if you connect your phone to your computer in mass storage mode.
• 📱 Backups: If you have backup enabled in Mi Cloud or Google Drive, check your archives.
