Ever wished you could record calls without the annoying “This call is now being recorded” announcement on your Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G? 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.
