MacBook keeps using my iPhone as a mic

After the update from Monterey to Ventura, my MacBook keeps connecting to my iPhone at random times automatically using my mic while I'm in the middle of working in Figma or simply watching YouTube videos.

Very frustrating because I'll be listening to music or podcasts on my iPhone then my Macbook will connect to it randomly then it instantly disconnects from it then cuts off my podcast or music then I have to manually play it after it happens.

How do I turn this random 'connecting to my devices' off?

Remove the Continuity Camera feature: on iPhone to go General > AirPlay & Handoff > deselect Continuity Camera

I just did this and from what others are saying it works! We’ll see as mine was doing 2-3 times an hour if not more.

Thank you Apple for yet another "feature" no one wants or asked for. Alan Perlis "Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy."

You're amazing! How did you figure it out? It's not intuitive.

Goto system settings - Privacy & security - Logic Pro and toggle to off. Make sure you do your phone too and re-check all configurations. Fixed

I have been using apple products over ten years. This is the most annoying feature I have ever encountered. I deliberately sign in and leave this comments. It is just rediculous.
