Aug 18, 2015 2:40 PM in response to lars.solvangby Pirchl,I still have same problem. I do not want a passcode and I don not need voice control. My Iphone calls people out of my pocket. Mostly people I am taking about. This ends in strange situations!

Feb 6, 2016 7:42 PM in response to Lxandriaby Walterr5,BEst solution I found to this problem. Get a screen protector. Thicker the better. With that gap, will be enough to void pressure on the home button when your phone is in your pocket.

Sep 16, 2016 12:54 PM in response to jrryanby RDPH,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.

Sep 20, 2016 8:20 AM in response to RDPHby freudsigmund,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.

The reason you don't see anything about Siri under Settings>General anymore isn't because of anything you did. Its because it was moved in iOS 10. Siri now has it's own entry in Settings. You'll find it between Sounds and Touch ID & Passcode.
If you disable Siri, Voice Control is automatically enabled. It's either one or the other. If you leave Siri enabled but disabled in the lock screen, you'll be less likely to invoke anything accidentally.

Sep 20, 2016 11:07 AM in response to Meg St._Clairby RDPH,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:

Sep 27, 2016 10:12 PM in response to jrryanby yeeyeeyee,I just talked to the Apple Hong Kong technical support through their online platform... They told me that, (1) you cannot turn off because this is a build-in function since IOS7; (2) probably the "voice control problem" is due to your hardware, so, please backup and take your iphone7 to Apple Store Genius Bar for maintainence; (3) I asked if it is possible to have an option in the future for users to turn off this function, the reply I got is that "there are not much customers encounter this problem" (that means they do not even bother to acknowledge my problem encountered is a "problem")... well, after all, the lesson I learnt is that I will NEVER ask for help from APPLE online platform again, and I think it's time to start looking for an alternative (Android phone)

You should do what best meets your needs. No one here cares which phone you decide to use.
Best of luck.
