My iPhone keeps calling different numbers on my contact list.

I’ve turned off voice control and Siri, yet when I wear my Bose sport earbuds, or any other earbuds, my phone arbitrarily calls different numbers on my contact list.

The voice control screen comes up and I can’t keep it from calling a number.

help! This is driving me and my contacts crazy.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hey there swtnt,


We'd like to confirm more details to better understand what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. You mentioned that this occurs when wearing different earbuds, but does this occur with a pair of headphones that doesn't have a built-in microphone?
  2. When did this start?
  3. Any issues when not using any earbuds with your iPhone?
  4. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  5. Since you have a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 16.3. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!
