WhatsApp places call on its own

My own solution to this annoying problem of the phone making unwanted phone calls, or trying to make one, is below in bold font. I just want to mention that the other day I was engaged in a conversation with my husband, and Siri pipes up and says, “Just to confirm—you’d like to call Julia R*** - mobile?” I pulled my phone out of my pocket and on the screen it showed that I said, “Foster call Julia.” Now, what in the world was that piece of nonsense?! And besides, I have Siri set up that it only responds to “Hey Siri”. I exclaimed “No!” My husband asked what I was saying, and I replied, “Oh, just crazy Siri wanting to know if I wanted to call Julia R***.” Immediately Siri says, “Calling Julia R***-mobile”. Grr-rr! I promptly ended the call.

So what I’ve done to put an end to this annoying Siri is disabled “Hey Siri” and disabled “Allow Siri When Locked”. This handicaps me a little, but better than this overly-eager assistant disrupting conversations and making unwanted phone calls. Siri didn’t used to be so super sensitive. We need Steve Jobs’ credentials on the table!!

Thank you for replying. I guess we’ll never know, will we. A call should not be triggered so easily. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, I disabled Siri and enabled it again, so I had to go through the steps for voice recognition. I find Siri has been interrupting too many conversations Of late with, “I didn’t quite get that”, ’or something to that effect. Hopefully, with disabling/enabling Siri this will be corrected.
