Xiaomi: Use Speed Dial for Faster Calling

Dialing the same contact from a long list every time you need them wastes time when you only want to reach a favorite number fast. Speed dial on Xiaomi phones lets you call an assigned number with a single long press on the keypad, but it only works once a contact is linked to that digit. On Dual SIM devices you may also get asked which line to use if no default SIM for calls is set.

Set Up Speed Dial for Calls auf Xiaomi

Speed dial saves time when you regularly call the same number and do not want to search your contact list every time. On Xiaomi phones running MIUI, a contact assigned to a digit on the dial keypad can be called with a single long press, skipping the contact search entirely.

To use it, follow this path:

Open the Phone appTap and hold the assigned number on the dial keypadChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)

The last step only appears on Dual SIM devices when no default SIM for calls has been set. In that case, the phone asks which SIM card should place the call before dialing continues.

If nothing happens after the long press, no contact is currently linked to that digit, and the shortcut has no target to call.

Speed dial is best for numbers you dial daily, like a partner or a frequent work contact. For contacts you call less often, searching or using recent calls is usually faster than remembering a digit assignment.

Frequently asked questions

Nothing happens. MIUI only starts a call once a contact is linked to that digit, so check the assignment before relying on the shortcut.
