Hello Dimojiaku,


Are you having issues with getting Voice Control to turn on? Do you receive any errors when trying to operate the feature?


It looks like you may have come across it but this page can help out with using Voice Control: Use Voice Control to interact with iPhone - Apple Support


You may try toggling Voice Control off, restart the iPhone, and then re-enable it. Be sure to have the device connected to a strong Wi-Fi network to allow it to download a one-time file.




1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Voice Control.
2. Tap Set Up Voice Control, then tap Continue to start the file download.
When the download is complete, the Voice Control icon appears in the status bar to indicate Voice Control is turned on.
3. Set options such as the following:
Language: Set the language and download languages for offline use.
Customize Commands: View the available commands and create new commands.
Vocabulary: Teach Voice Control new words.
Show Confirmation: When Voice Control recognizes a command, a visual confirmation appears at the top of the screen.
Play Sound: When Voice Control recognizes a command, an audible sound is played.
Show Hints: See command suggestions and hints.
Overlay: Display numbers, names, or a grid over screen elements.
Attention Aware: On an iPhone with Face ID, Voice Control wakes up when you look at your iPhone and goes to sleep when you look away.


If you're having issues with enabling the feature, try one of the other options the page lists, just to see if any work successfully:

After you set up Voice Control, you can turn it on or off quickly by using any of the following methods:
Activate Siri and say “Turn on Voice Control.”
•Say “Turn off Voice Control.”
•Add Voice Control to Accessibility Shortcuts—go to Settings  > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap Voice Control.


Cheers.
