" From the article below: 'On an iPhone with Face ID, Voice Control wakes up when you look at your iPhone and goes to sleep when you look away.

'

When Voice Control is turned on, then spoken commands are used.

Apple support's online article; Use Voice Control commands to interact with iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: Explains how to set it up before turning it on.

If you have set it up: then says:

"Start using commands

To use Voice Control on your iPhone, just say a command.

Voice Control: Say, for example, “Open Control Center,” “Go home,” “Tap item name,” or “Turn up volume.”

Tip: Use the interactive Voice Control Tutorial to get familiar with Voice Control and practice essential commands. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control, then tap Open Voice Control Tutorial."


and says:

"Turn Voice Control on or off

After you set up Voice Control, you can turn it on or off quickly by doing any of the following:

Siri: Say something like: “Turn on Voice Control” or “Turn off Voice Control.” Learn how to use Siri."


and also says:

"See what commands you can use

Display a list of the available commands, which vary depending on the app you’re working in and what you’re doing. For example, you see text formatting commands while writing a document.

Voice Control: Say “Show commands.”

To browse the full list of supported commands and see examples of how to use them,

go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control > Commands."
