Where on Xiaomi Redmi 9T store conversation records: all the ways to find and save audio

You try to find phone records on your Xiaomi Redmi 9T, but you don't know where exactly they're stored? This is a problem that many users are familiar with: the smartphone offers a call record feature, but it's not always obvious where those files go. Depending on the version of MIUI firmware, the app used for calling and settings of the device, the storage paths may differ.

In this article, we’ll look at all possible locations where Redmi 9T can store audio recordings of conversations, from standard folders in internal memory to hidden directories of system applications, and learn how to transfer records to your computer, restore deleted files, and why some calls may not be saved automatically. If you use third-party recording applications (such as Cube Call Recorder or ACR), we’ll show how they are stored.

Before you start searching, please note that on Redmi 9T with MIUI 12/13, the default records can be hidden from the standard file manager. Accessing them sometimes requires you to enable hidden files or use Root Explorer. If you don't find the folder, don't panic: it's probably just hidden.

1. Standard place of storage of records in MIUI

On Xiaomi Redmi 9T with original MIUI firmware, the default call records are saved in the Phone application system folder.

/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.android.dialer/recordings/

If you use a standard call app, check this directory first.

• 📁 The files are.amr or.mp3 And they're called by template Recording_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.
• 🔍 The folder can be hidden – enable the display of hidden files in the Explorer settings.
• 📱 On some versions MIUI 12.5+ records are kept /storage/emulated/0/MIUI/sound_recorder/call_rec/.

To find the folder quickly:

1. Open Explorer (or any file manager, such as Solid Explorer).
2. Go to Internal Memory → Android → Media → com.android.dialer.
3. If there is no record folder, check the alternative path. MIUI/sound_recorder.

⚠️ Note: If you have updated Redmi 9T before MIUI 14 In newer versions, the recordings are sometimes moved to /storage/emulated/0/Recordings/Call/. Check both locations.

2.Alternative paths for different versions of MIUI

MIUI firmware is regularly updated, and with each update, the location of the records may change. Below is a table with current paths for different versions:

If your version of MIUI is not listed in the table, try searching for internal memory.

1. Open the Explorer and click on the magnifying glass icon (search).
2. Enter.amr or.mp3 (depending on the format you want).
3. Sort the results by date of change – the latest records will be at the top.

On Redmi 9T with MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, records can be automatically archived to the Mi Cloud cloud if sync is enabled. Check the Cloud section → Backups → Call records.

3. How to find records if you use third-party applications

Many Redmi 9T users install alternative applications to record calls, such as Cube Call Recorder ACR, Call Recorder by Lovekesh or Boldbeast, which store files in their own folders, which are often different from the system folders.

• 🎤 Cube Call Recorder (ACR): /ACR/ or /CallRecordings/ (format.mp3 or.ogg).
• 📞 Boldbeast Call Recorder: /Boldbeast/Recordings/ (supportive.mp3,.wav,.amr).
• 🔊 Call Recorder by Lovekesh: /CallRecorder/ or /sdcard/CallRecords/.
• 📱 Truecaller: /Truecaller/Recordings/ (Only for premium users).

To find out the exact path for your application:

1. Open the application settings for recording.
2. Find the Save folder or the Warehouse section.
3. Copy the specified path and paste it in the address bar of the Explorer.

⚠️ Note: Some apps (e.g. Boldbeast) require additional permissions to record calls on Android 10+. If records are not saved, check the settings of Special Access. → Record audio in the application menu.

Make sure the app has access to microphone and storage |Check the format of the save (MP3) | Turn off audio compression if quality is more important than size |Tune in to automatically delete old records so as not to clog memory-->

4. Search for records via computer (ADB and manual methods)

If you can’t find the phone records, connect Redmi 9T to your computer and use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Viewing through MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

Simply connect your smartphone to your PC via USB, select File Transfer (MTP) mode and manually check the folders:

• Internal memory. → Android → media
• Internal memory → MIUI → sound_recorder
• Internal memory. → Recordings

Method 2: Use of ADB (for power users)

If your records are hidden or restricted, use ADB (Android Debug Bridge):

1. Install Platform Tools on your PC.
2. Turn on USB Debugging on Redmi 9T (Settings → About Phone → MIUI version – press 7 times, then go back to Additional → For Developers).
3. Connect the phone and execute the command: adb shell ls /sdcard/Android/media/com.android.dialer/recordings/

If the folder exists but is empty, try looking for entries in other directories:

adb shell find /sdcard/ -name".amr" -o -name".mp3"

💡

If ADB can’t find files, but you’re sure there were records, try using DiskDigger to recover deleted audio files right on your phone.

5.Why records may not be saved (and how to fix it)

Sometimes Redmi 9T users face a problem where call records are not saved at all. Causes and solutions:

• 🚫 Lack of permission to record: On Android 10+ Applications need special permissions. → Annexes → Permits → Recording audio.
• 📵 Operator restrictions: Some mobile operators block the recording of calls at the network level (for example, MTS or Beeline in roaming).
• 🔋 Savings in charge: In Ultra-Economic mode or with low battery charge (<15%) The recording can be automatically disabled.
• 📱 Application conflict: If multiple recorders are installed, they can interfere with each other.

To check if records are retained:

1. Call another phone and turn on the recording manually.
2. After the call is completed, check the storage folder immediately.
3. If there is no file, restart the phone and try again.

⚠️ Attention: On Redmi 9T s MIUI 13+ In some regions (e.g. the EU), call recording is disabled by default due to privacy laws. → Recording calls → Allow recording.

6.Recovering deleted call records

If you accidentally delete the recordings of conversations, you can try to restore them. On Redmi 9T, the following methods are suitable for this:

Method 1: Recovery through a Conductor

Immediately after removal:

1. Open Explorer → Recycle Bin (if the function is enabled).
2. Find deleted files with the.amr or.mp3 extension.
3. Restore them to the original folder.

Method 2: Use of specialized utilities

For deep memory scanning:

• 🛠️ DiskDigger (no root required, but with root finds more files).
• 🔍 Recuva (works via PC, if you connect your phone as a drive).
• 📱 Undeleter Recover Files & Data (Scanning Internal and External Memory).

Instructions for DiskDigger:

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Select Full Scan (requires root for maximum results).
3. Filter the results by type of audio.
4. Save the files found to the cloud or memory card.

⚠️ Warning: The more you use your phone after deleting the records, the lower your chances of recovery. Wi-Fi/Mobile Internet and do not install new applications.

💡

The best chance of recovery is in the first 24 hours after deletion, after which the files can be overwritten with new data.

7. Transfer of records to a computer or cloud

To free up memory on Redmi 9T or back up, transfer the records to your PC or cloud storage.

To your computer (via USB or Wi-Fi)

• 🖥️ Connect your phone to your PC in File Transfer mode (MTP).
• Copy the folder with records (for example, /Recordings/Call/) to the hard drive.
• For convenience, rename files by date or contact.

Google Drive, Mi Cloud, Yandex Disk

• ☁️ Open the Google Drive or Mi Cloud app.
• Click Add → Download and select the folder with records.
• For automatic synchronization, set up backup to Settings → Cloud and accounts.
