iPhone 6 iOS 8 Voice Control comes on randomly while using headphones, how do I disable??

Happens to me at least once a week. Phone is just sitting on the desk while I'm in a meeting, and Siri just starts listening and speaking to me.

Nothing to do with headphones, or jogging, or podcasts. Not even using/touching the phone when it happens. At least my colleagues get a big kick out of it when we're meeting and Siri just chimes in.

This happens to me and I don't use headphones. It happens frequently when I am on a phone call in speaker mode, with the phone laying flat on my desk. I have turned off every single thing I can find that pertains to voice control, nothing has worked so far. It is so frustrating!

I just installed iOS 8.3 .... maybe.... one can always hope...

My condition is much more severe. I cant call by phone now! When i am in call by headphone, voice control pops up and musics start to play, and my calls are disconnected. Even i can not turn off the music,its kept playing and doesn't allow me to call! I did everything that is suggested here. I turned off Siri,voice calls are turned off, passcode is on. I reset the whole mobile,but nothing helps. Now,i can not call anyone using headphone,i am using apple headphone.Please help me!i am regretful that i upgraded my mobile to iphone 6.

I'm having this issue also and with Apple headset that came with package. I have iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 (12F70). Really really annoying and nothing seems to help but not using the headset. That's not an answer. Apple please respond.

iI've had the VC problem with the apple earphones that came with my new iphone6 plus. Apple needs to RESPOND!!!!!! People are getting really angry. Hard enough to get off my tush for a run - music interruption is not making me happier!!!!

I rarely use headphones with my iPhone 6 Plus and Voice Control acts like an evil entity on my phone! It often starts up when I'm setting or turning off alarms or doing tasks that don't have anything to do with voice use. After I manage to get Voice Control to go away, the color scheme reverses and I have to hit the Home button 3 times quickly to get it back to normal. (Those reverse colors are insane - that's supposed to help people with bad eyes?? Another thing Apple did that is senseless.) Generally, I love my phone. But every update is buggy as h***. I'm on 8.3 (I won't go to 8.4 because I want nothing to do with Apple Music, but will upgrade to iOS 9 when it comes out - but I don't have any expectation that 9 won't be a nightmare of its own).

This is almost as annoying as iTunes launching automatically every time I get in my car. Apple's solution: delete my music. The apple manager I spoke with has the same problem. He told me to buy another iPod for my music. Why did I buy this if I'm required to deactivate the features I purchased?

NO question about it this is a major issue. I have an iPhone6 and am upgraded all the way to iOS 9.1. Voice Control has demon-possessed my iPhone, in fact that as I'm writing this post, it keeps going on and off, won't let me access my apps, even to look up Settings and try to fix. It happens both WITH and WITHOUT headhpones and regardless whether music is playing or not.

Seems it may be a hardware issue as it begain happening after I had some issues with a portable music player jack (and then headphones) but frankly I don't think they are related. Seems hardware related for sure. Also, now my phone has trouble, answering, listening, hearing interruptions - a SOUND cluster f... Complete disaster.

Wish I had a solution, but here's mine: going to get a new iPhone. Fortunately I purchased insurance, but this should be a warranty thing and non-issue. My phone is only a few months old!

Apple needs to fix this and do a "recall" so everyone who has a legit issue can get new phones.

I don't think it's a problem with headphones. i use the Apple headphones. For me this problem developed and then got much much worse with the last two IOS updates. It seems to be a software bug. Is Apple going to address this???

For working-out, listening to music, I was using my iPhone 6 with some crap old ear buds for months with no problem. Then last week, boom, voice control comes on beeping away in the middle of a song, skipping ahead to the next song. Then next thing I know the screen is showing "Controle Vocale". Then Siri is talking to me in Italian. ***? Temporary answer was timeless: Reboot the phone. Worked for a while. Then the beeping and song skipping came back. Even rebooting doesn't help anymore. Will try new ear buds. Hard for me because normal ear buds don't fit me very well. When I find a pair that fit, I stick with them for all they're worth.

Apple, how do I hate thee.

Let me count the ways...

I find "Voice Control" really annoying and wish that it would go away, never to return. And when it pops up I don't know how to kill it. Just keep poking buttons and it eventually goes away. EXCEPT this morning when my pocket started playing music and that was hard to kill, also.

This is a REALLY ANNOYING 'feature'!!!

I'm glad to know it's not just me, but I must look like a crazy person in the gym swearing at my phone every 2 seconds when the **** voice control pops up. It's beyond irritating and really unacceptable for such an expensive phone. I'm using an iPhone 6s with the latest update. I'm going to try the rubber band fix someone else suggested, but how ridiculous is it that we have to do that? You should be able to disable the voice control when listening to music.

It was absolutely driving me insane so I did the isolating tape thing and it works perfectly now! Thank you for that!

Just for the people that hasn’t really notice the metal part that makes the difference for comparison reasons I am posting pics

The white one is an apple headphone which never stopped working.. thanks again!

This bug is driving me bonkers. The issue is definitely compunded when the iphone is in motion.

Now we just need a solution for those of us who never installed trivia crack.
