Auto dial on Android Xiaomi: how to turn on and configure on Redmi, POCO and Mi phones

Have you ever encountered a situation where a caller does not answer a call and it is inconvenient to call back manually every time? The auto dial feature on Xiaomi smartphones solves this problem — it automatically repeats dialing at predetermined intervals until the connection is established. But not all users know that this is possible not only in a standard MIUI phone, but also in hidden settings and in third-party applications.

In this article, we will look at all the ways to activate auto dialing on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices, from built-in tools to alternative solutions. You will learn how to adjust the re-dial interval, what restrictions apply in different versions of MIUI, and why the function may sometimes not work.
