Xiaomi: Delete a Single Entry from Call History

Trying to remove just one number from your call log on a Xiaomi phone can get confusing fast. The long-press menu shows options that sound like they clear everything, so it is easy to end up wiping your whole call history instead of one line. Knowing which option only affects the entry you tapped makes the difference.

Delete a Single Call History Entry auf Xiaomi

Xiaomi phones running MIUI store every call in a single scrollable log. Long-pressing an entry opens a small menu, and it is not always obvious which option removes just that line and which one clears everything tied to that number.

To remove only one entry, open Phone, then find the call in the list. Tap and hold that specific entry until the action menu appears, then tap Delete. Confirm by tapping Delete again in the pop-up that follows.

This action only affects the highlighted line. Other calls from the same contact, along with your messages and any related shortcuts, stay untouched.

Choosing a different option from the same long-press menu, such as one labeled around clearing history, removes every call tied to that contact or number instead of just one entry. If your goal is to wipe an entire conversation of calls at once, that broader option is the right tool. If you only want one specific call gone, stick to the two-tap Delete confirmation described above.

There is no undo after confirming. Once you tap Delete a second time, the entry is gone from the log permanently and does not sync back from anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

No. Deleting a single entry through Tap and hold an EntryDelete only affects the call log line. SMS or chat threads with that contact stay in the Messages app untouched.
