Which microphone? There are two. There's one on the keyboard for dictation. That one can be turned off. Settings>General>Keyboard>Enable Dictation>Off. Then, there is the one at the right of the text entry box. That one, which only appears when sending to other iMessage users, cannot be turned off.


I suppose you could forgo iMessage entirely and use only SMS. Then, the microphone would be gone.

I'm not sure I understand the issue? You not only have to tap and hold to enable the recording, but to send it, you have to hit the send arrow which is in a different place (much higher) than the regular Messages arrow.


I think if you explain the circumstances under which this is happening to Apple at this link, it would be your best bet for getting it resolved: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
