Xiaomi: End Calls with the Power Button

Ending a call on a Xiaomi phone usually means tapping the red hang-up button on screen, which is awkward one-handed or when the display is hard to reach. MIUI has a hidden accessibility toggle that lets you end calls with the power button instead, but it is turned off by default and easy to miss in the settings.

Power Button Ends Call Setting auf Xiaomi

On most phones, ending a call means tapping the on-screen hang-up button. MIUI adds an accessibility option that lets you finish a call by pressing the power button instead, which is faster when you are holding the phone one-handed or wearing gloves.

This setting lives under accessibility rather than the calling settings, so many users never come across it. Once enabled, a single press of the power button during an active call ends it immediately, without needing to look at the screen.

Where to find it

Open SettingsAdditional settingsAccessibilityPhysical, then enable or disable Power button ends call.

Keep in mind that once this is active, pressing the power button during a call always hangs up, even if you meant to lock the screen or check the time. If you tend to press the power button out of habit while talking, leave this option off to avoid accidental disconnects.

Frequently asked questions

No. Outside an active call, the power button still locks and unlocks the screen as usual. The changed behavior only applies while you are on a call.
