Automatic dialing is a useful feature that saves time when trying to contact a subscriber again. On Xiaomi smartphones (including the Redmi, POCO and Mi lines), you can implement auto dialing using both regular MIUI tools and third-party applications. However, many users face problems: the function is unstable, then completely absent from the menu. In this article, we will analyze all the current ways to set up an auto dial on Xiaomi in 2026, from hidden settings to circumventing operator restrictions.
It is important to understand that auto dialing capabilities depend on three factors: firmware version (MIUI 12/13/14/15), smartphone model (e.g. Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or POCO F5) and mobile operator policies. Some providers (e.g. MTS or Beeline) block frequent re-callings as spam, and we tested all methods on current devices and selected only those that work consistently.
1.Minute Auto dial in MIUI: where to look and how to turn on
In the latest versions of MIUI 14/15, the auto dialing function is hidden deep in the phone's settings. It's not in the standard Phone app, but it's available through the Additional Features menu. Here's how to find it:
- Open the phone application (pipe icon).
- Slip on three dots in the upper right corner and select Settings.
- Go to the section Additional functions β Auto dial.
- Activate the switch and set the interval between attempts (5 to 60 seconds).
If AutoCall is not on the menu, your firmware does not support this out of the box function, in which case one of the alternative methods described below will help, and also check if the item is hidden behind the experimental functions:
Activate Developer Mode (7 times tap the MIUI version in Settings β About Phone)
Enable USB Debugging in Settings β Additional β For Developers
Reboot the phone after activating the developer mode

Limitation: The MIUI auto dial only works for the last missed call. If you need to set up a re-dial for a specific contact or schedule, use third-party apps.
2.Apps for auto dial: TOP-3 proven solutions
If the built-in feature is missing or not working properly, third-party utilities will come to the rescue, and we tested 15 apps from Google Play and selected the three most reliable ones:

4. Auto dial through Tasker: for advanced users
If you need to flexibly set up an auto dial (for example, only at a certain time or for specific contacts), the best solution is automation through the Tasker app. It is a powerful tool for creating custom scripts, but it requires initial skills with triggers and actions.
Here is a step-by-step instruction for setting up an auto dial through Tasker:
