Recording calls to Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: all ways to activate in 2026

Recording phone conversations on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is a useful feature for recording important conversations, interviews or just saving memorable conversations. However, in the latest versions of MIUI, the manufacturer has limited this ability due to legal requirements in some countries. In this article, we will discuss all current methods of enabling recording, including hidden settings, third-party applications and bypassing system locks.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet/sweetin) feature is that call recording can work differently depending on the firmware version and region. For example, in Indian and global builds of MIUI 13/14, the feature is often disabled by default, whereas in Chinese versions it is available out of the box. We tested all methods on current firmware in 2026 and selected only working solutions.

Why is there no default call record on Redmi Note 10 Pro?

The main reason for the lack of embedded recording is legal restrictions, and in the EU, the US and some other regions, recording conversations without the consent of the interlocutor is considered a violation of privacy, so Xiaomi removed this feature from global firmware, leaving it only in:

• 🇨🇳 Chinese versions MIUI (for example, MIUI CN Stable)
• 🇮🇳 Indian assemblies (but with a warning of legality)
• 📱 Firmware for some operators (e.g. Jio in India)

Technically, the hardware of the Redmi Note 10 Pro supports recording, a problem that is limited by software, which means that the feature can be returned via:

• 🔧 Hidden engineering menus
• 📲 Third-party applications with or without root access
• 🔄 Change of the firmware region (risky method)

⚠️ Note: In Russia, recording of telephone conversations is regulated by Art. 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It is allowed to record conversations only with the notification of the interlocutor or in cases provided for by law (for example, to ensure security.

Method 1: Enable via hidden engineering menu (without root)

1. Open the phone (calling) application.
2. Enter the dialer code: ##284###
3. The Call Settings menu will appear.
4. Select Auto Call Recorder (Call Recorder).
5. Activate the switch and save the settings.

If the code doesn’t work, try an alternative:

##7325##

Check the version of MIUI in Settings → About the phone

Make sure that SIM-The card is active (the record only works with the inserted card)

Close all background applications before entering the code

Restart your phone if the menu doesn’t open the first time.-->

Important: On some firmwares, after activating the recording through the engineering menu, the function may disappear after the restart, in which case repeat the procedure or use the region-change method (described below).

Method 2: Use the Cube Call Recorder ACR application

If the engineering menu failed, the most reliable option is a third-party Cube Call Recorder ACR app. It supports Redmi Note 10 Pro and works without root, but with some limitations:

• 📞 Records only incoming calls (outgoing – if root is available)
• 🎤 The sound quality depends on the version. MIUI (Some of the firmwares only record your voice)
• 📁 Files are saved in /Internal Storage/CallRecordings/

Step-by-step:

1. Download Cube Call Recorder ACR from Google Play.
2. At the first launch, grant permissions to: 📞 Telephone (to access calls) 🎤 Microphone (to record your voice) 📁 Storage (to save files)

Recordings → Audio Source → Voice Call + Mic

Auto-record

If the app doesn’t record outgoing calls, try turning on Air Mode for 10 seconds during the call – sometimes this resets MIUI restrictions.

Method 3: Change the firmware region to Chinese (for experienced)

This method unlocks the built-in call record, but requires unlocking the bootloader and installing Chinese firmware, and is only suitable for users who are prepared for possible loss of warranty and the risk of “bricking” the device.

3. Install firmware via Fastboot or TWRP (instructions are available on 4PDA).

⚠️ Note: Installing Chinese firmware removes Google services (GMS). Additional repairs will be required for their recovery. GMS package, which complicates the process, and some banking applications may stop working due to the lack of Google certification.

Method 4: Recording via Google Drive (alternative)

If previous methods didn’t work, you can use cloud recording via Google Drive, which doesn’t require root and works on any firmware, but only records your side of the conversation (the interviewer can’t be heard).

How to set up:

1. Install the Google Drive app.
2. Open any document or create a new one (Create a new one) → Google Documents).
3. Click on the microphone icon in the top menu (or select Tools → Voice input).
