7 Tricks for the miui calling app on xiaomi

Exist. They are among us and have a normal appearance. They look human and yes, they really are. Although they still use the mobile phone to talk on the phone. But how to talk on the phone… are you telling me that there is an application with which you can talk to any user, in real time, over the phone? Effectively. And this application is called like this, 'Telephone' or 'Calls'. And its icon is one of those old phones, the kind you see in the movies and laugh at how hulking they were. They are among us and continue to use the telephone to talk And for them we have made this special.

The resistance that still refuses to use WhatsApp for everything, even to talk through audio messages, can use the call application for much more than just talking. They can assign a number from the keypad to a specific contact, to make the call faster; they can place a contact widget so that, with a single click, you can start the call; they can even block numbers of commercial salespeople that annoy at nap time. We are going to offer you a good handful of tricks for the MIUI Calls app on Xiaomi phones. These same options are (almost) certainly available on your other brand phone, you just have to do a little research on how to do it.

Put these tricks into practice for the Calls app in MIUI

Assign speed dial to your favorite contacts

Your mother, your girlfriend, your closest friend, your boss… we all have certain contacts on our agendas that we usually call quite frequently. Wouldn't it be great if, by dialing just one number, we could make the entire call? Well, here we are going to teach you just that, to assign a number from the telephone keypad to your favorite contacts.

Open the Calls application and, on the numeric keyboard, press and hold the number you want to assign to a contact. No 1, as it automatically assigns it to your company's voicemail. A window will appear in which we can read ' Assign a speed dial number to this button ? we click yes. Now it only remains to find the contact to which we want to assign the chosen number and that's it. Now, when we want to call that contact, we will only have to press and hold that number and the dialing will be done by itself.

Block unwanted or spam numbers

You are sleeping peacefully for a nap, you are in the middle of lunch and you have forgotten to put your mobile on 'Do not disturb'. You pick up, answer and it is a seller of some mobile operator. You take a breath, tell him that you are not interested and proceed to block the number so that, at least from that, they will not bother you again. How do I do it?

In the call history, the screen where the received and sent calls appear, you must press and hold the phone number you want to block. A window will appear with different options. Click on 'Block'. On the screen that appears next, click on accept and that's it.

How to see our blocked list?

If we want to see the list of numbers that we have blocked to unblock one in particular, in the 'Calls' app you have an icon, at the bottom, with three stripes. Press it. You have just entered the 'Call Settings'. Search for 'Block List' and enter this section. Inside here you will see the ' Blocked numbers '. If you want to unlock one, keep pressing and, on the screen that appears, click on 'Delete'. In the 'Exceptions' section you can allow calls from certain telephone numbers, prefixes and add contacts directly from your phonebook.

Place an automatic call widget

Do you want to place a practical widget so that, just by pressing it, you can get in touch with that special person you call every day? Well, it is very simple. On the desktop screen, we are going to press on a free area for a few seconds. In the options that appear, click on 'Widgets'. We look, in the list, ' Contacts and phone dialer '. We hold down the widget and place it on the screen that we want. The contacts page will open automatically. We choose the desired one and the widget will place itself. We can choose the specific action of the widget: that is, if we want that, by pressing it, we see the contact's file or make the call directly.

How to activate call recording by default

Thanks to the MIUI layer we can have call recording natively. And, in addition, we can ask you to record all calls, without distinction. Do you want to try this function and don't know how? It is very simple. Open the Calls application and enter, again, the three-striped icon that we have in the lower left part of the screen. Next we will go to the 'Call recording'. We activate ' Record calls automatically ' and that's it. We may also ask you to notify us after a call has been recorded (by hanging up the phone) and we may even ask you to automatically record certain phone numbers.

Turn to mute the call

There are times when they call you at the most inopportune moment and you have forgotten to put your mobile on silence. For example, imagine that you are in a meeting and you have your mobile on the table. And it begins to sound in a roar. You can configure your mobile so that, with a simple twist, it stops ringing instantly. This will be very comfortable for you as it will stop making noise and will avoid greater evils.

To perform this simple gesture we only have to go back to the 'Call' application settings and enter 'Incoming call settings'. On the next screen, click on ' Turn to silence the call ' and voila, you will only have to turn the phone over to stop bothering you.

Redial automatically

Do you usually call a very busy contact? Do you have to repeat the action often and does that tire you? Well, you can make the phone call back automatically, without you having to do anything else. To do this, we enter the settings of the 'Calls' app again and this time we go to 'Advanced settings'. We must activate the switch ' Redial automatically ' so that the phone redials if the line is busy.
