Can’t turn off hands-free dictation

I’ve tried every which way to disable the hands free dictation but nothing works. Turned off phone then powered back up — still the same.

very disconcerting. I am ready to throw this iPhone 13 against a wall.

You can disable dictation by going to Settings > General > Keyboard and turn off Enable Dictation.


Also on Settings > Siri & Search and tap to turn off Listen for Hey Siri and Press Side Button for Siri.


May also want to try a Forced Restart.
