I just made an appointment and went to add it to my calendar. Calendar knew the details and made a suggestion. The problem is all the info it suggested should have been unknown to the app. Apparently, calendar listens to conversations. That is unacceptable and makes me question what other apps are listening to private conversations and what is being done with my info. How do I turn this off?
Calendar does not listen to conversations. But you probably got an email or text confirming the appointment, and the mail or message app suggested the appointment be added to the calendar.

I made no appointment nor did I input any info. I’ve only had an iPhone for 4 months so there were no previous appointments entered. It made the suggestion solely after a phone call. No email, no info whatsoever given to Apple.

I didn't say you made an appointment. I said you were notified. You may have missed it. It may have ended up in your spam folder or it's an iMessage you didn't see.
Or maybe you're right and there is a vast conspiracy that involves the Calendar application "listening" to you with no microphone indicator and then letting you know it's listenting by offering to set up an appointment. Anything is possible.
No. It doesn’t.
Actually no. I had just hung up from making the appointment. That’s why I’m freaked.

And Apple sends you an email confirming the appointment.
I didn’t receive an email from Apple confirming the appointment. At no point did I enter any info whatsoever.
Every time I have made an appointment at the Genius Bar, I have received a confirmation of some kind, either by email or iMessage.
I just had this happen to me as well. Had a phone call and made an appt, went to make a reminder in the app and it knew the exact time from my phone call w/o me doing anything.
In response to Kitsap
The place where you called for the appointment , is it in your contacts ? If so , that may be why it was auto filled in the calendar ?
