Automatic re-dialing is a useful feature that saves time when a subscriber is busy or unavailable. On Xiaomi Redmi smartphones, this option is not as obvious as on other brands, but it can be activated through both built-in tools and third-party applications. In this article, we will analyze all available methods, including hidden MIUI settings, and also consider the nuances for different versions of the firmware and Redmi models (from Redmi Note 7 to Redmi 13C).
Xiaomiβs auto dial feature may not be available in the default Phone menu β itβs often hidden in the back of the settings or removed in newer versions of MIUI (e.g. MIUI 14 and later). However, this doesnβt mean that thereβs no option: it can be returned via Settings β Additional or by installing alternative software. We tested all methods on current firmware and collected only working solutions.
