How to disable voice control (ios 8)

Hi, I am using iPhone 5 and updated to ios 8. I disable siri but when I press home button by accident, the voice control screen pops up and this happens more than 10 times a day and it's extremely annoying. I already siri and I am wondering how to disable voice control completely or assign the home button to do something else. Many thanks in advance.

iPhone 5, iOS 8

In order to be able to see Siri as an option to turn off at the Touch ID & Passcode settings screen, you may need to start by turning Siri back on.


1. Enable Siri (Settings --> General --> Siri --> Toggle Siri On)


2. Go back to Settings. Scroll down to Touch ID & Passcode.


3. Turn Off Siri at Allow Access When Locked (Touch ID & Passcode --> If needed, enter your passcode --> Allow Access When Locked --> Toggle Siri Off


4. Disable Siri (Settings --> General --> Siri --> Toggle Siri Off)


5. Reboot the phone.
