Xiaomi: Add Extra Details to a Contact

Only a phone number and name saved for a contact leaves out useful extras like birthday, nickname, or a website link. On Xiaomi phones, MIUI hides these optional fields behind the standard edit screen, so you never see them unless you go looking. Without filling them in, calls and messages only ever show the bare minimum information for that person.

Add Extra Contact Details auf Xiaomi

The default contact card in MIUI only shows a name and phone number by default. Fields like birthday, nickname, relationship, or website exist in the contact editor but stay hidden until you open a separate menu for extra fields.

To add them, open Tap on ContactsChoose a ContactTap on Edit contactTap on More fields. This reveals the full list of optional detail fields, including Call sign, IM Address, Nickname, Internet call, Relationship, Website, and Birthday.

Filling in a field

Tap Tap on a Detail field, then use Enter the Corresponding data and tap Save to store the entry. Each field saves independently, so you can add just a birthday now and come back later for a website or nickname.

These extra fields are visible in the contact card afterward and can show up in call and messaging apps that pull additional contact data, such as displaying a nickname instead of the saved name. If a field does not appear under More fields, the contact may be synced from an account type that limits which fields MIUI can edit locally.
