I have THE solution. Not sure if it was answered. You can disable the Voice Control (not siri) by removing the voice control shortcut. Right now your phone is set to enter voice control when the home button is pressed 3 times in a row.


Go to Settings => General => Accessibility => Accessibility Shortcut => Unselect VoiceOver.


No more embarrassing phone calls. I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.

VoiceOver is not and has nothing to do with Voice Control.

This took me weeks to figure out but it can be done. Very poor and unintuitive user experience though.


In iOS 10, to disable both Siri and Voice Control:

Step 1: Go to Settings > Siri and ENABLE Siri (this sounds counterintuitive, but it won't work otherwise)

Step 2: Back to Settings > Touch Id and Passcode > DISABLE Siri


That should disable both Siri and Voice Control
