Ever wished you could record calls without the annoying “This call is now being recorded” announcement on your Redmi Note 13? Well, now you can!
The device comes with a built-in Google Dialer app. One annoying thing about the dialer is the automated message that plays when you start recording a call.
This announcement informs both parties that the call is being recorded and can be disruptive and unnecessary in certain situations.
With a few simple steps and a third-party app, you can easily disable this announcement and enjoy uninterrupted call recordings.
