How do I permanently disable Voice Control on iPhone 14 when using wired headphones?

I cannot turn off voice control on my iphone 14. When I play an audiobook with wired headphones, it just automatically, randomly, starts. It is toggled off under Accessibility settings. I have changed the side button so it supposedly needs 3 pushes to activate, but it still keeps happening!!!

CAN I REMOVE IT?

Seems you may be unintentionally triggering Voice Control using the accessibility shortcut. To turn off Voice Control there too:

Go to Settings >

Accessibility >

Scroll down to Accessibility Shortcut >

Uncheck Voice Control.

You may be able to use Siri to quickly turn Voice Control on and off.

If needed: Turn on and activate Siri on iPhone - Apple Support
