I've just received a new Iphone 16e from my employer and I'm a little taken aback by all the changes. How can I disable the "recognize music" ability, and prevent the app (I'm not even sure it is an app) from using the microphone. I have no desire to use the service and feel more than a little uncomfortable with it always listening.

If that is Shazam simply uninstall it (or don't use it)
I love tapping on Shazam when in a store or restaurant that's playing music and impressing my wife.
There's no shazam app in the installed apps list, yet I can access the recognize music function through the control panel or the "action button" and there's no option to restrict the microphone access. Not using the app isn't really an option if it's always listening no matter what.
Remove or disable "recognize music"
