Voice Control’s Random Interruptions with IOS 17.4.1. Since update to IOS 17.4.1, Voice Control and iTunes Music is randomly activating itself without prompt. It does it with and without headphones and it happens so frequently, that I am unable to use the phone effectively. I disabled Voice Control, Spoken Content, the microphone, Siri, and (1) the phone still activates the Voice Control and shows a list of options; (2) the microphone light glows orange and (3) oftentimes, a song that I wasn’t even listening to plays as if it’s on fast forward. How often? Voice Control randomly activates repeatedly from every 5 minutes, if I’m lucky, but usually it’s a constant occurrence. It takes a few swipe ups to make it disappear but it reappears almost immediately rendering the phone virtually unusable. None of this happened until I updated to IOS 17.4.1.

Siri, play playlist **** stopped working I'm pretty sure this coincided with my iOS upgrade t0 16.5. Suddenly my siri play playlist *** stopped working and would always return the same different, wrong playlist. I did the turn off all siri settings, rebooted my iphone Xr, then it worked once, then successively returned the same, wrong playlist. I don't know if it's related by in my inbox there is "Enjoy your Apple Music Voice Plan preview", which I don't think I initiated.

Go to Settings - Accessibility - Physical and Motor - Voice Control and see if it is enabled. You can turn off if it is on.

Also check Physical and Motor - Side Button and see which option is selected. You might do a Shutdown and then Reboot to see if that helps.
