Voice control (not Siri) keeps turning on by itself in settings

Voice control, from the accessibility settings, keeps turning on by itself. This only started happening after I turned it on for the very first time myself when I was trying to figure out something else. This was a couple weeks ago and nothing else has changed. Just randomly I see the stupid blue microphone come on at random points in the day and when I go to my settings voice control has been switched on. I turn it off and make sure it’s off every time but it comes back on.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello Glamzar,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you. Since turning this feature on and back off, have you tried restarting your iPhone? Although it's a simple action, it can correct a wide variety of issues you may experience with your device. If you haven't tried that after having disabled Voice Control, give it a go and see if it helps.
