How to disable re-calling on Xiaomi: all ways for MIUI

Are you tired of the annoying beep that comes out 30 seconds after an unanswered call? Call Reminder feature on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO may seem useful, but in practice it is often annoying — especially when you deliberately missed a call. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to turn it off, although not all of them are obvious.

In this article, you will find current methods for MIUI 12-14 and Android 11-14, including hidden settings that are not documented in the official manuals. We will also discuss why the feature can spontaneously turn on after updates and how to avoid it. If you are using Xiaomi 13/14, Redmi Note 12 or POCO F5, the instructions will also be suitable for your model.

What is a Repeat Call and Why Does It Work?

The call re-call feature (originally Call Reminder or Missed Call Alert) was introduced into MIUI as part of the notification system, and its purpose is to remind the user of a missed call 30 to 60 seconds after it is completed. The logic is simple: if you did not hear the first signal (for example, the phone was in your bag), the second call will increase the chances that you will respond.

However, in practice, this function often works inappropriately:

• 🔔 During important meetings or meetings, when the phone is specially switched to silent mode.
• 📱 When using a headset or Bluetooth headphones, where the signal is duplicated.
• 🔄 After updating MIUI, When the settings are reset to the factory.
• 🚫 When you call from spammers or scammers you deliberately ignore.

Interestingly, in some regions (e.g. India), the feature is turned on by default due to local communication regulations; in Europe and Russia, it is usually turned off out of the box, but can be activated after resetting settings or installing third-party launchers.

Method 1: Disconnect via phone settings (MIUI 12–14)

The most obvious method is to use the built-in MIUI options.It works on all modern Xiaomi smartphones, including the Redmi Note 11/12, POCO X5 and flagship Xiaomi 13T/14 models.

1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
3. Go to the Calls → Reminder of the Missed (or Call Reminder in English firmware).
4. Move the slider to the off position.

If the "Reminder of Missed" item is not on the menu, then your version of MIUI uses an alternative path:

• 🔧 Go to Settings. → Annexes → Phone. → Notifications.
• 📳 Find the option Reminder of a missed call and turn it off.

Important: On some firmware (e.g. MIUI Global for Redmi 9A), this option may be called Missed Call Alert or Repeat Call Notification. If you don't find it, try changing the system language to English temporarily.

Method 2: Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode

If the re-call only works at certain hours (e.g. at night), you can do without completely disabling the function, and Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is suitable for this, which blocks all notifications, including call reminders.

How to set up:

1. Open Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
2. Activate the slider on.
3. Click the Schedule and set a time interval (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).
4. In the Exclusions section, add Repeats to the list of blocked notifications.

The advantage of this is flexibility. You can:

• ⏰ Set different schedules for weekdays and weekends.
• 🔕 Allow repeat calls only from selected contacts (exceptions) → Contacts).
• 📱 Turn off vibration but leave a sound reminder (or vice versa).

💡

If notifications from messengers are missing in Do Not Disturb mode, check the exception settings for WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps in the same menu.

Method 3: Disconnect via ADB (for advanced users)

On some custom firmware or regional versions of MIUI (e.g. MIUI China), standard settings may be hidden, and the ADB team will help, which disables the feature at the system level.

You'll need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed Xiaomi drivers and tool ADB (download).
• 📱 Included debugging by USB on the phone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI → 7 times press to unlock the developer mode, then Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB).

Instructions:

adb shell settings put global call_reminder_enabled 0

To return the function back, use:

adb shell settings put global call_reminder_enabled 1

Warning: Using ADB can lead to unstable system operation if you enter incorrect commands. On some models (for example, Xiaomi 12S Ultra), this method requires unlocking the bootloader, which voids the warranty.

Method 4: Third-Party Call Management Apps

If the built-in methods don’t work, you can use alternative calls from Google Play, which completely replace the standard Phone app and allow you to flexibly configure notifications.

Top.-3 apps:

How to install Google Phone instead of a standard call

1. Download the app from Google Play.
2. Open Settings → Applications → Phone → Open by default.
3. Select Google Phone as your calling app.
4. In Google Phone settings, turn off the option of Missed Reminders.

💡

Third-party calls may conflict with MIUI system services. Backup contacts via Settings → Google → Backup before installation.

Method 5: Reset the settings of the "Phone" application

If the caller switched on on on its own after the MIUI update, resetting the standard call will help, which will return all parameters to factory settings, including hidden options that may have been changed by the system.

Step-by-step:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the phone (pipe icon) and click on it.
3. Select Warehouse → Clear data and Clear cache.
4. Confirm the action (this won’t delete your contacts, but will reset your call history!).
5. Reboot the phone.

After discharge:

• 🔄 The call will be re-opened (by default). MIUI Global, it's off).
• 📞 You will have to reconfigure the quick dial, favorite contacts and other personal options.

💡

If the function is activated again after reset, check if there are any “optimizers” or “cleaners” (such as Clean Master) on the phone that can automatically change settings.

Why does the call itself turn on?

Many Xiaomi users complain that the feature is activated without their involvement, and the reasons may be as follows:

Especially often the problem occurs on budget models (Redmi 10A, POCO M4), where the manufacturer saves on testing firmware. If you notice that the re-call is turned on after a specific action (for example, connecting to a Bluetooth device), report it to the Xiaomi feedback center - this will help fix the bug in future updates.

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

When you turn off a re-call, users often face typical problems, and here's how to solve them:
