I have an iPhone 10 x max. As I am texting, I could be thinking out loud to my self or talking to someone. Voice control is entering that dialogue into my text message. This is annoying. How do I keep voice control from doing this?

Hi Rolando007,


We understand that audio is being captured when texting. If the microphone button (next to the space bar) is inadvertently pressed while speaking, this is expected behavior. To turn off dictation, tap Settings > General > Keyboards > Enable Dictation.

Have a great day!
