Microphone always being used by Carousel via apple watch

Recently, just out of nothing I notice my apple watch is always using my microphone by the app “carousel”. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to stop it? It’s an apple watch SE that I got about 3 months ago.

Hello Malldannoun8


To help resolve this issue, try removing the app from the Dock and restart the Apple Watch. To remove the app from the Dock, press the side button, then turn the Digital Crown until you get to the app you want to remove. Swipe left on the app, then tap X. This step is shown under the section of this article that states "Choose which apps appear in the Dock": Open apps on Apple Watch - Apple Support


Next, Restart your Apple Watch :
