The auto dial feature on Xiaomi Redmi smartphones can be a real salvation when you need to urgently reach a busy subscriber or automate repeated calls. Unlike the iPhone, where this option is hidden in the depths of settings, on MIUI it can be activated in several ways, both standard and using third-party applications. But there are nuances: not all Redmi models support auto dialing out of the box, and in some regions the function can be blocked by the operator.
In this article, we will discuss 5 working methods for setting up an auto dial, including hidden MIUI 14/15 chips, circumventing operator restrictions and alternative solutions for older Redmi 8/9 models.
β οΈ Note: On smartphones Xiaomi with global firmware (Global) ROM) Auto dialing may not be available due to regional restrictions, and if you don't have this option on your phone, go straight to alternatives.

- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner β select Settings.
- Go to the Call section β Additional settings.
- Look for Auto Repeat, Auto dial or Re-call.

- π Number of repetitions (from 1 to 10 times).
- β±οΈ The interval between attempts (5-60 seconds).
- π΅ Exceptions (for example, do not access numbers from the blacklist).
