turn off audio messaging

Running iOS 17.3 on iphone 14.

Audio messaging is on for all apps - Messenger, WhatsApp. the audiowaves icon is on the top in the bar beside the clock. See pic. I'm not sure when this showed up - most likely one of the iOS 17 updates as this is new in the bar! It records voice to text automatically even while I'm typing a new message! It will audio record anythime I talk while the cursor is in the text bar. It's extremely frustrating.

That symbol indicates you have turned on Voice Control, an Accessibility feature. If you prefer it off, this explains how to do that.
