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.
