The “Voice Control is no longer listening” banner appears because classic Voice Control is turned on. You can remove the banner completely by turning Voice Control off:


Settings ➡️ Accessibility ➡️ Voice Control ➡️ Turn Off


If you still want Siri but not Voice Control, make sure only Siri is enabled under Settings ➡️ Accessibility ➡️ Side Button.
