Q: Disabling Voice Control when holding down HOME button in IOS10?

I am currently running IOS10 on my Iphone6.

However, even with SIRI turned off if I hold the HOME button down, VOICE COntrol pops up.

It is VERY annoying for me. How do I disable that?

iPhone 6, iOS 10

    Folks,

    I guess I should have searched a bit longer within the support community.

    I found the following and it worked for me..

    you enable siri (in siri menu).

    in the menu 'touch ID' you will find a switch labeled 'voice dial'. switch it to off.

    go back to siri menu and switch 'access via lock screen' to off.

    Well, I thought it solved it.. Oh well.

    Now I do not get Voice Control, but SIRI will now pop up...

    So, the question still holds...

     

    If I hold the HOME button down in addition to the tab on the upper right of the Iphone6,

    I just want to do a hard reboot. I do NOT want any voice control to pop up.

    Has anyone encountered this and if so, how did you solve it??

    Why are you holding the Home button down when it is locked if you don’t want Siri or Voice Control?

    HI Chris,

    The main reason is if I need to do a hard reboot.

    To do that, you hold the HOME button in addition to the switch on the upper right part of the Iphone 6.

    As it currently stands with IOS10, it will bring up Voice Control and I do not want that.

    It never happened before on any of the IOS versions I have used in the past.

    It pops up but if you continue to hold both buttons (for another 1 second) it reboots.

    I forgot to mention, that after I continue holding the HOME button (with the upper right switch)after a few seconds of being in VOICE CONTROL, it does trigger the hard shutdown.

     

    In the past (previous versions of IOS) it would just go directly to the hard-shutodwon.

    Not so with IOS10... :-(

    That is correct.

    Why does the VOICE CONTROL pop up like that in IOS10? It never did that before.....

    Posting this here too because I am VERY annoyed too: Looks like you can't disable Voice Control.  According to another thread I saw, Apple says either Siri or voice control has to be on.  Siri is much better, believe it or not, because s/he doesn't PING loudly when you mistakenly activate him/her.  And s/he never understands what you say-- so as long as voice dial is de-activated, no harm done!

    I dont want Siri or Voice Control on - for the life of me I cant find how to kill off voice control completely and its popping up even if i slightly rest on the home button.

    Ive really noticed it today that its doing the hard shutdown too. Very annoying. Still unable to find a solution to remove this from the home button completely. Even more annoying when you have your phone on silent for a reason but voice control is seriously noisy regardless.
