About once every six months on my iPhone, Voice Control turns itself on. A little blue icon shows up to the right of the time. This happened on my 13 Pro running iOS 18 (and probably earlier versions), and it just happened on my 18 Pro running iOS 27.0.1. Obviously I have not updated the OS recently. I did not make any Settings changes before this happened. I have never manually turned it on, and I rarely go to Settings, and even more rarely to Accessibility.
I’m not looking for a solution - it’s a minor annoyance - but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced it.
When you have Voice Control on but not active, it is listening and waiting for you to say “Start listening”, then it switches to full listening and interpretation mode. Maybe you accidentally trigger it that way?
I have not experienced this, no. (18 Pro currently with 27.2.1, but it never happened since I’ve had the phone.)
The only think that I can think of is to ask if you ever use Control Center and, if you do, if there isn’t perhaps the control for Voice Control there that you might be accidentally pressing?
