Your iPhone has a voice assistant called Siri that can help you to perform certain actions with your voice.
But even if Siri is turned off, it’s still possible that your iPhone can accept voice commands. This is because of a separate feature called Voice Control.
Voice Control can either be activated at all times on the device, or it can be configured to turn on when you press and hold down the side button.
Voice Control can be helpful if it’s something that you actually want to use, but it can be a bit of an annoyance if you find that it is turning on accidentally.
Our guide below will show you how to turn off Voice Control on an iPhone 11 by changing settings on a couple of menus.
