Turn off auto typing with voice control turned on

Trying this new voice control feature, I noticed that with the keyboard open my iPhone listens to conversations around me and starts typing them.

This is very annoying as there’s no way of turning this off unless you turn off voice control entirely. Thus loosing some useful custom commands that I set up.

By the way I’m not talking about the enable dictation setting under the keyboard tab, as even if you turn it off the iPhone types anything that it hears in the surroundings.

Hello danielbeck500,


If you don't want the listening feature to be active when using Voice Control, you can use the process in the "Here are a few other things you can do with Voice Control" part of the following link to put the microphone to sleep, which may help: Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


* To activate listening, you can say "Go to sleep" or "Wake up." The listening feature doesn't turn off, but puts the microphone to sleep until you wake your device with a command.


If you need additional assistance with Accessibility features, please contact Accessibility Support for help. This link explains how to contact that team: How to contact Apple for accessibility support


Thank you!
