Xiaomi: Turn On/Off Call Recording

If you need proof of what was said on a call, or want to stop your Xiaomi phone from silently recording every conversation, the built-in call recorder is the setting to check. It sits disabled by default, and many users never notice it is there until a recording shows up unexpectedly in the Phone app. Whether you want it running for every call or only for a handful of numbers changes which option you need to pick.

Turn On/Off Call Recording auf Xiaomi

Call recording on Xiaomi phones is handled inside the native Phone app, not a separate tool. It is turned off out of the box, which is why calls are not saved unless you switch it on yourself.

Where the setting lives

Open Open the Phone appOpen the SettingsTap on Call recording. From there you can toggle Enable or disable Record calls automatically and then decide the scope with Choose All numbers or Selected numbers.

Picking All numbers records every incoming and outgoing call without extra steps. Picking Selected numbers only records the contacts you add to that list, which is useful if you only need documentation for specific calls, like support hotlines or business clients.

When to leave it off

In many countries, recording a call without telling the other person is restricted or requires their consent. If you are unsure about local rules, keep the feature off or inform the other party before recording, since Xiaomi does not manage that legal side for you.

If calls are not being saved even with the toggle enabled, check available storage first, since recordings are stored as local audio files and stop silently once the phone runs out of space.

Frequently asked questions

Recordings are stored locally as audio files, usually accessible through the call log entry of the recorded call or the file manager. If storage is low, new recordings may fail without a warning.
