I need to disable to microphone recording thing on imessage, sent recordings to people by accident twice now with near disastrous results!

How do I disable the microphone recording thing on imessage? Siri is not activated but still the icon for the microphone is there and twice I have sent recordings by mistake - NOT good!

iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2, microphone recording

This is far TOO easy to accidentally activate. My wife and I have accidentally sent audio messages but thankfully nothing too embarrassing yet.

Apple, please provide a way to disable this

Or, you learned how not to push the record button. 🙂
