How to put an auto dial on the phone Xiaomi Redmi: 3 proven ways

Automatic dialing is a useful feature that saves time when you make frequent calls to the same number. On Xiaomi Redmi smartphones, it can be configured through both built-in MIUI tools and third-party applications. But many users face problems: the feature does not save after a reboot, works with delays or is not on the menu. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to set up auto dialing on the Redmi Note 12/11/10, Redmi A2/A1 and other models, taking into account the features of the latest versions of the firmware.

It’s important to understand that since MIUI 14, Xiaomi has limited the functionality of a standard auto dialer to integrate with Google Phone and Mi Dialer, meaning that new devices may require additional apps or hidden settings to be activated. We tested all methods on current firmware (including MIUI 15 Global) and selected only working solutions.

1. Standard auto dial through the application "Phone"

The easiest way is to use the built-in Mi Dialer app (or Google Phone, if it's installed by default), and the auto dial feature is hidden in the Quick Dial settings here, but not available on all models, and you can check for it like this:

1. Open the Phone app** (the phone icon on the home screen).
2. Go to the Contacts section and select the desired number.
3. Tap it on three points (⋮) top-right → Call settings.
4. Scroll down to Autosteer** (or Redial in English firmware).

If you don't have a point, your Redmi model doesn't support this out of the box function, so move on to the following ways. On some firmware (e.g., Redmi Note 10 Pro with MIUI 12.5), the option may be called Re-call and be in the Additional Settings section.

Update the Phone app in Google Play

Make sure the number is saved in the contacts.

Check the permissions for the Phone application (Settings → Applications → Permissions)

Turn off Do Not Disturb (can block auto dialer)-->

⚠️ Note: On devices with Google Phone (e.g. Redmi) A2 For the European market, standard auto dialing may conflict with Google services. If the function does not work after setting up, try resetting the application settings to Settings → Annexes → Phone. → Warehouse → Drop it.

2. Configure through the engineering menu (for advanced users)

If the standard methods fail, you can activate the auto dial through the engineering menu (hidden settings Xiaomi).This method requires caution, since incorrect changes can disrupt the network.

1. Open the Phone app** and enter the combination: ##4636###.

Once you save the settings, restart the phone. The feature will work for all outgoing calls until you manually turn it off (MIUI 13 and later) the engineering menu may be blocked. ADB-team:

adb shell settings put global auto_redial_enabled 1


adb shell settings put global auto_redial_attempts 5




adb shell settings put global auto_redial_delay 20

⚠️ Note: Changes to the engineering menu are not saved after resetting or updating the firmware. MIUI The auto dialer is missing - repeat the setting.

3. Auto dialing apps from Google Play

If the built-in methods don't work, install one of the specialized applications. We tested 5 popular utilities and selected the best ones:

For installation:

1. Download the app from Google Play.
2. Open it and grant permissions to call and work on top of other apps (in Android settings).
3. Add a number to your auto dial list or set up rules (for example, only for busy lines).
4. Activate the service in the application settings.

Tip: Check reviews before installing – some apps may conflict with Xiaomi’s MIUI Optimization. If the auto dial doesn’t work, add the app to battery exceptions: Settings → Battery → Application Selection → [application name] → No restrictions.

4. Auto dialing via Tasker (for automation)

If you want advanced customization (e.g. auto dialing only at certain times or under certain conditions), use Tasker. This app allows you to create complex automation scenarios.

1. Install Tasker from Google Play and provide all the permissions you have requested.
2. Create a new task (+ → Task) and call it, for example, AutoCall to Mom.
3. Add the action Phone → Call and specify the number.
4. Add Task → Repeat and adjust the number of attempts (e.g., 5) at 30 seconds intervals.
5. Create a profile (+ → Profile) that will run this task, for example, by time or when a call is missed.

Example of profile for auto dial-up at employment:

• 📞 Condition: Event → Phone. → Call complete (Busy)
• ⏱ Action: Start the AutoDial task in 10 seconds
• 🔄 Limitation: Maximum of 3 repeated attempts

Tasker is a 7-day trial, but gives you full control over the logic of the auto dial, for example, you can set up a notification after a successful connection or suspend repeated calls if the subscriber answered an SMS.

💡

If Tasker doesn’t see the call event, check the special features settings: Settings → Special. features → Tasker → On.

Frequent problems and their solutions

Auto dialing on Xiaomi Redmi can work unstable due to firmware features or conflicts with other services.

Problem 1: Auto dial only works 1 time

Reason: Background activity limitations in MIUI. Solution:

• 🔧 Open the Settings. → Battery → Choice of applications.
• 📱 Find the application responsible for auto dialing (e.g. Auto Redial).
• ⚡ Select the mode No restrictions.
• 🔄 Reboot the phone.

Problem 2: The function is disabled after the MIUI update

Reason: Resetting hidden settings. Solution:

• 📲 Reconfigure the auto dial through the engineering menu or ADB.
• 🔄 If you use a third-party app, reinstall it.
• 📋 Backup your Tasker settings (if you use it).

Problem 3: Auto dialing doesn't work in roaming

Reason: operator limitations. Solution:

• 📞 Check the fare - some operators block frequent repeat calls.
• 🌍 Enable the Settings option → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Data roaming (sometimes helps).
• 📡 Try using a VoIP-enabled app (e.g. Redial Pro).

💡

If the auto dial stopped working after the MIUI update, first check the permissions for the Phone app – often a reset occurs due to changes in security policy.

6. Alternative methods: SMS and voice assistants

If none of these methods work, consider alternatives:

Automatic SMS to request a call back

Set up SMS when you miss a call:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Phone → Autoresponder and SMS.
2. Turn on the auto-SMS option when you miss it.
3. Set up a message template (e.g., "Occupied. Call me back, please, or I'll call you back in 5 minutes").

• 🎤 Say, OK, Google, create a routine".
• 📝 Call her, for example, "Call back".
• 🔄 Add the action "Call [contact]".
• ⏱ Set the delay for 1 minute and repeat the action 3 times.

These methods are less reliable than specialized applications, but can help in situations where a standard auto dialer is not available.

7. Security and confidentiality

When using third-party auto dialing apps, consider the risks:

• 🔓 Permissions: Apps require access to call logs and contacts. Check reviews and ratings before installing.
• 🕵️ Data collection: Some utilities pass call statistics to developers.Read privacy policies.
• 💰 Hidden payments: Free versions may contain ads or subscriptions.Use AdGuard to block intrusive banners.

Safety recommendations:

• 🛡 Install apps only from Google Play.
• 🔍 Before installing, check the application through VirusTotal.
• 🔄 Update regularly MIUI — New versions cover vulnerabilities that can be exploited by fraudsters.

⚠️ Note: On devices with corporate firmware (e.g., issued by an employer), auto dialing functions may be blocked by the administrator. IT-service.
