getting rid of ear in control center Hello! I just redid my control center and for some reason no matter how much I delete it the “ear” control center button keeps popping up. How do I remove it permanently? I’ll delete it and it will just re-add itself.

how to remove an unwanted widget from my phones screen I recently purchased a new iPhone Air 17. I did the transfer and everything came over onto the new phone from the old phone perfectly. But there's a widget, I think that's what they're called? Is on my screen and I can't get it turned off or get it to go away. I've tried rebooting my iPhone & also completely shutting it down & restarting. Could you please tell me how to get this off my iPhone 17 screen? I have a screenshot of it & it's called "listening". Thank you, Dennis [Edited by Moderator]

That activates the Live Listen feature. When you are using AirPods or other listening devices it amplifies external sounds, so it’s sort of like hearing aids. If you don’t want to use it go to Settings/Control Center and tap the “-“ next to Hearing.
