Q: How do I disable voice control in iOS 10?
Hi. I've got an iPhone 6s Plus and just downloaded iOS 10. Now, when I accidentally hold the Home button too long, it makes a loud pinging sound and brings up Voice Control. I don't want this; I work in a cubicle and don't want to make this much noise, nor do I ever use Voice Control.
I went into Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > ensured Voice Dial was off. If this isn't possible in iOS 10, how do I downgrade to iOS 9.x? Thanks.

i found a workaround. not a really good one, though.
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.
now activation of voice dial on lock screen should be gone - try it!
downside: you now have siri switched on. as soon as you disable it, voice dial will be back to previous state... :-(
