Hello mateensw18,


Next you'll want to do some further investigation to try and narrow down the conditions when Voice Control appears.


Some things to make note of:

• What are you doing on the device when it appears?

• Are you using a certain application or performing a certain action?

• Are you connecting anything to the device like headphones or a charger when it appears?

• If you do have something connected to the device, does it only appear while that item is connected and stop appearing once it's disconnected?

• Does it only appear when you're actively touching the device, or does it appear when you're not touching the device at all?


Narrowing down the conditions/environment in which it appears can help you to isolate the cause. For example, if Voice Control only appears when headphones are connected to the device, that tells you that the problem is coming from either the headphones or the port on the device.


Aside from using investigative skills to narrow down the cause, you'll of course want to make sure you've covered the basics like restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.


Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone


If you have confirmed that Voice Control is turned off in Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control, and are unable to narrow down a specific action or behavior that causes Voice Control to appear, you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support


Cheers!
