How to put an auto dial on Xiaomi Redmi: 3 proven ways + problem solving

The auto dial (or auto dial) feature on Xiaomi Redmi smartphones can be a real lifeline when you need to reach a busy subscriber or an overloaded hotline. However, in standard MIUI firmware, this option is often hidden or not working correctly — especially on newer versions of the system. In this article, we will analyze all the available ways of setting up, including bypassing manufacturer restrictions, as well as typical errors that users encounter.

Many people mistakenly believe that auto dialing is a purely carrier function, and in fact, it can be activated regardless of the tariff using built-in Android tools or third-party apps, and the main thing is to adjust the settings correctly to avoid unnecessary costs on outgoing calls, if you often call banks, support services or just friends with a “long-time” number, this guide will save time and nerves.

Note: Some methods require permission to change system settings (e.g., through ADB). If you are not ready for experiments, use only the former method, which is the most secure and does not require root rights.

1. Standard auto dial through MIUI settings (does not work on all models)

On some Xiaomi Redmi devices (especially older versions of MIUI 12 and below), the auto dial feature is built into the Phone system application.

1. Open the Phone app (the phone icon on the home screen).

2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Settings.

3. Scroll down to the "Additional" or "Calls" section (name depends on the MIUI version).

4. Look for the "Auto" or "Auto-Call" option. If you don't have one, move on to the next one.

⚠️ Attention: Starting with MIUI 13 and later, this item is often missing because of Xiaomi's policy of simplifying the interface, in which case only third-party software or other software will help. ADB-team.

2. Auto dial through the application "Truecaller" (the most universal way)

If there's no built-in feature, the best option is to use Truecaller, which not only detects spam calls, but it can automatically re-dial. Here's how to set it up:

2. Open the app menu (three lines in the top left corner) and go to Settings → Calls.

3. Find the section "Auto Driver" and activate it.

Set the parameters:

- Number of attempts (maximum 5)

- A pause between calls (recommended 10-15 seconds)

Exceptions (for example, do not repeat calls to numbers from the blacklist)

⚠️ Warning: Truecaller consumes an extra battery and may conflict with other calling apps (such as WhatsApp Calls).If the auto dial is not working after setting up, check the application permissions in Settings → Annexes → Truecaller → Permissions (must be included “Calls” and “Call logs»).
