How to permanently disable voice control

Dear Apple, I don't want to have a pass code on my phone and I don't want the phone to call a random person in my address list just because the home button is pressed accidentally!! How do I fix it???

Meg_St. Clair, I will take your word for it that if you disable Siri, Voice Control is automatically enabled. However, in my opinion this is a poor design. The developers should have allowed the selection of Siri, Voice Control, or neither.

Then you should tell them that:

I had a conversation with Apple Support and what they recommend is to leave the feedback here http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

The more users will claim this issue the faster Apple will hear about it and maybe fix it in future updates.

Blow quite hard into your home button from different angles whilst pushing it down in different directions also. You may have dust inside the button causing the problem. It happens to me a lot and I blow into the cracks of the button and it solves the problems for a few days.

I have an iPod Touch 4th gen and wouldn't ya know I got the same problem. Except, sometimes it reads voice without opening that strange screen. I'm on the Internet with earbuds in and then a song from a soundtrack I regret downloading starts, pauses, restarts, and then voice control quits... Once the song is set on loop. And my home button is weird and senses a long home click as a double click and two clicks as a home click. So I'm on my app search by the time I get the little menu to open. I envy my dads smartphone with its simple touchscreen home button.

Hey guys!!!! I finally found a useful site for this problem. I'm constantly traveling... And this auto voice control function was super annoying on my roaming bills!!!

Hope it helps!

Really silly!

I have a broken home button, and that's why my iPhone 4 starts randomly calling someone when not locked!

A real design flaw, the voice dail can not deactivated completely.

I consider now a jailbreak for the first time.

If Apple does not make it possible to turn of voice control,,, I will not recomend Apple products to 35 000 IT employees I work with,, I will replace all my apple devices,, 2 ipads, 5 iphones,, iMacs, MacAir,,, I will completely switch over to another Brand, probably Google Android, or WinMO,,, I will terminate ALL developer licenses... Move all my projects to the trash bin,,, and start over with another progamming language...

I called 15 people without even knowing it last saturday bacause of that ludacris Voice Control function,,, AAAHhhh! Enough is enough...

jrryan I am having sort of the same problem too I figured out how to turn it off but not permentally. This will hopefully make it to where it doesn't come on startup. First go to the bottom right hand corner and make sure that voice control is running then right click the icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen then go to options and uncheck "run at startup" and that should make it to where it will come up when ever you start your computer. That way it will not come on untill you turn it on.

I hope that this helped:)

These instructions don't seem to apply to an iPhone.

I am having the same problem on ios 8.3 and it is getting ridiculous cause I cant listen to music or watch videos so apple fix this problem or does anyone else actually know how to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😠😠😠

I changed the home-click speed from default (which must equal super sensitive to anything remotely near it) to slow. It appears to have worked for me - Good luck 😉

settings>general>accessibility>home-click speed>slow

problem resolved (y)

Well, it would if VoiceOver and Voice Control were the same thing. But, they're not.

OK. Essentially same issue. iPhone 6s. iOS 10.0.1.

Have Home Button set to "Rest Finger to Open". (I do not like the new way that the Home Button functions.)

Have SIRI disabled.

Have all voice assist type controls off.

HOWEVER... If, in the lock screen, I press and hold the Home Button, I get a Voice Control screen.

Why is that there?

How to I turn off the Voice Control?

I have neither the need, nor the desire to talk to, or be talked to from, my phone!!!!

Thanks.

This is by far the worst feature in the iphone and it actually got worse with the latest update. I have switched off virtually everything that is remotely connected to speech-control (even so far that in settings->general SIRI is not even mentioned any more. But strangely i didn't have this problem until the most recent update. Apple, please help: How do I kill voicecontrol permanently??? I do not ever want it to come up in my phone, not now not ever.
