Please Fix Voice Dictation and Numbers Typing all over iPhone screen My iPhone 13 Pro Max started listening and typing everything it hears all of a sudden this morning. I did nothing to enable this change. Why does Apple do this? Why are these threads closed that keep coming up, over and over? The answers given on previous questions do not apply to IOS26. The instructions given for places to go to turn this off do not exist. In IOS26 can someone please advise how to turn off the feature that causes the phone to listen and type eveything it hears, whether it is a TV, radio, or someone else's voice? Is it possible for Apple to develop the software to only respond to the trained voice of the phone's owner?

How do I turn off VoiceOver on iPhone 15 Pro ? Siri first started by reading some of the stuff I would right. If I typed a certain letter that I had previously set up to put a phrase on whatever I needed it. So then came the boxes around the stuff I would write. Then my phone would not let me sign in. It had the spaces to put the number in and Siri would say every number I typed in but they would not show up on the phone so. Nothing would happen. I kept trying, I think I had something like this happen before and I think I had to different swipes with 3 fingers. So I can’t get off the one screen where I should put in my code. But I can’t put the code in so now I can’t do anything on the phone. I really hope you can help me. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
