How to deactivate voice control

I have an iPhone 13 and upon pressing the headphones a certain way(depending on the model of the headphones) voice control is activated.


How can I deactivate voice control so when I use headphones it doesn’t pop up?


Voice control appears to be off.

If Voice Control is already off, that will happen if the headphone connection is loose, has frayed cables, or moisture in the connector. It is noted in the Support Article here:

If you have a loose or poor headset connection, frayed cables, or moisture on the connector or remote, it might unexpectedly activate Siri or Classic Voice Control. If the issue persists, try using a different headset.

It happens with different headsets. A loose or poor headset connection, frayed cables, or moisture on the connector or remote is really not relevant here as I can recreate this anytime I want. Whatever headphones I use if I use the corresponding combination it will activate voice control 100% of the time, even though it appears that voice control is off. The problem is I often do this by mistake. This appears to be a feature not a problem, can I somehow report it and request a change?
