I have the same problem as jrryan.

Disabling triple click home doesnt fix the problem. I have also deactivated voice control (settings> general> code lock). The problems remains. Voice control keeps kicking in all the time...


Does anyone know how to get rid of the funktion compleatly?

it probably is the feature to do what you mentioned it does, but who cares as long as it helped to disable the voice control issue? 🙂

Because changing the reachability setting will NOT disable Voice Control. The only way to disable Voice Control is to enable Siri. What is more likely to have happened is you got used to the Home button and aren't accidentally invoking Voice Control any more.

Hi,

Maybe you found the answer, but for the people, who will have such problem I decided to share=)

I had same problem, and it was annoying me. I searched a lot to fix this, but accidently I found how to do it. Here is the way: Settings->General->Accessability->Home Button->in "PRESS AND HOLD TO SPEAK" part choose Off and thats it

hope it'll help

Yup, Apple just added this setting. I suspect that you have all the people who submitted feedback to thank!
