To stop your iPhone 16 from typing everything it's hearing, you need to disable the "Dictation" feature. You can do this by navigating to Settings > General > Keyboard and toggling off "Enable Dictation". Additionally, you can disable the "Speak Selection" feature in Accessibility settings to prevent the phone from reading aloud selected text.
