Where to save conversation records on Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro: all possible paths and settings

Have you recorded an important conversation on Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro, but can’t find the file? Or want to change the folder to save so you don’t lose data? In this article, we’ll look at all the possible storage locations for call records on your smartphone, from standard paths to hidden MIUI folders.

Xiaomi smartphones use different save algorithms depending on the firmware version, the recording application installed, and even regional settings. For example, in MIUI 12-14, default records can be stored in one place, and after upgrading to HyperOS - in another. We analyzed all scenarios and collected relevant information for the Redmi 10 Pro (model 21061119AG/21061119DG).

Important: If you use third-party recording apps (like Cube Call Recorder or ACR), the ways you save may be different, and we’ll cover this in this article.

Standard Ways to Keep Records in MIUI

By default, the Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro saves conversation records in the system folder, but its location depends on the firmware version and regional settings.

• 📁 Internal memory: /storage/emulated/0/MIUI/sound_recorder/call_rec/ — standard-way MIUI 12-14.
• 📁 Records folder": /storage/emulated/0/Recordings/Call/ — Alternative path in some regional versions.
• 📁 HyperOS: /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.miui.voicerecord/ — Relevant for devices with HyperOS upgrade.

To check these folders, use any file manager (such as Mi File Manager or Solid Explorer) if the folder is not available, then the record is saved elsewhere or the function is disabled in the settings.

How fast to find the folder:

1. Open the Mi File Manager (or other manager)
2. Go to the Category section → Audio.
3. Look for files with the.amr extension or.mp3 type-name Call_20260515_123456.

⚠️ Note: If you connected your smartphone to your PC and enabled file transfer mode (MTP), Some folders may be hidden. Use the "Show Hidden Files" option in the file manager settings.

How to Change the Records Saving Folder

2. Using File Manager: Create a new folder (e.g. /Recordings/MyCalls/) and move existing records there. New files will be saved to the old folder, but you can manually transfer them.
3. Using Automate or Tasker: For advanced users: Create a task that automatically moves files from the standard folder to the one you choose.

Where records are saved when using third-party applications

2. Find the Storage or Save Location section.
3. Choose internal memory, SD-Map or cloud storage (if supported).
