How to turn off voice control on iPhone

Voice Control is a great feature on the iPhone, allowing you to control and order your phone by voice. Unfortunately, Voice Control does not support Vietnamese, so Vietnamese users often use this feature less. On the other hand, Voice Control is also one of the reasons for consuming the phone's battery. Therefore, if you do not use this feature, you can turn it off to get more batteries for more useful purposes.

Method 1: Turn off Siri and Voice Dialing

Use this to disable Voice Control and prevent accidental calls from being activated when leaving your phone in your pocket or purse. Voice Control cannot be physically turned off using the buttons. Siri needs to be enabled to take over Voice Control, switch the screen lock to a password, and then disable Siri from the lock screen. This will prevent holding the Home button to start Voice Control or Siri when the screen is locked, to avoid creating unwanted "outgoing pocket calls".

1. Open Settings , by clicking the alias icon on the home screen or scroll down from the Home screen to find it.

2. Touch Siri . On iOS 9 and 10, you need to open the General menu first.

3. Switch Siri to ON if it is turned off. This may sound counterproductive, but you need to turn on Siri so that it cancels Voice Control.

4. Go back to the Settings menu and select Touch ID & Passcode . On older iPhone devices, Touch ID is not supported, this item is only called Passcode. If using iOS 7 or later, it will be placed in the General section.

5. Tap Turn Passcode on and create a password if not previously available. You will need a password to activate the lock screen.

6. Switch Voice Dialing to off mode. Click on the Voice Dial option to turn off voice dialing.

7. Turn off Siri on the lock screen. Touch the Siri option to turn off Siri from the lock screen.

8. Set Require Password to Immediately . This will force the phone to ask for a password as soon as you turn off the screen, to prevent accidental calls from being made when you touch the phone.

9. Lock the phone. Now that the settings are done, you will not be able to start Voice Control or Siri when pressing and holding the Home button while the phone is locked.
