Xiaomi: Turn On Auto-answer for Incoming Calls

If calls on your Xiaomi phone connect themselves before you even touch the screen, Auto-answer is likely switched on in the background. This MIUI feature can pick up every call after a set delay, or only when a Bluetooth headset is connected. Missing that toggle means you lose the chance to reject a call while it is still ringing.

Auto-answer for Incoming Calls auf Xiaomi

Auto-answer picks up incoming calls on its own once a set number of seconds passes, without any tap on the screen. On MIUI this behavior sits inside the calling accounts settings, separate from ringtone and notification options.

Enable it and every incoming call connects automatically after the delay you choose, or only when a Bluetooth headset or wired headset is attached, depending on the option you select. Disable it and every call keeps ringing until you swipe to accept or decline.

Where to find Auto-answer

Open PhoneOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on Calling accountsTap on Auto-answer. From there, Enable or disable Auto-answer and Set the Delay for how long the phone waits before picking up.

A short delay of one or two seconds works well for hands-free driving, while a longer delay gives you time to check who is calling before the connection opens. If you only want calls answered through a headset, restrict Auto-answer to Bluetooth devices instead of applying it to every call.

Turn the feature off again if you notice calls connecting while the phone is in your pocket or bag, since this setting alone controls whether MIUI answers for you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Inside Tap on Auto-answer pick the Bluetooth-only mode instead of applying it to all calls, so calls without a connected headset keep ringing normally.
