    I don’t even find the system contact app on my Redmi Note 8 but only the Google Contact app, therefore, I couldn’t proceed with these steps:

    1 Unlock your MIUI smartphone.
    2 Open the Contacts app.
    3 Tap on 3-vertical dots to select Settings.
    4 Enable Show SIM contacts option.
    5 Now select the SIM card while saving the new contact.
