Posted on Latest In Blogs

Here are the steps on how to turn off Voice Control on iPhone:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap on Accessibility.
  3. Scroll down and tap on Voice Control.
  4. Under the Press and Hold to Speak section, select the Off option.

This will disable Voice Control on your iPhone. If you want to turn it back on, simply select the Classic Voice Control or Siri option.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • If you have an iPhone X or later, you can also turn off Voice Control by going to Settings > Accessibility > Side Button and then selecting the Off option next to Press and Hold for Siri.
  • If you have an iPhone 8 or earlier, you can also turn off Voice Control by going to Settings > Accessibility > Home Button and then selecting the Off option next to Press and Hold for Siri.
  • If you have Voice Control turned off, you can still use Siri by saying “Hey Siri” or by pressing and holding the Home button or the Side button.

Please note that the steps and options might vary slightly depending on the iOS version you are using. If you can’t find the exact options described above, you can use the search feature in the Settings app to find “Voice Control” settings directly.
