I Phone Upgrade- Caution

[trader1]

I just upgraded my I phone to the latest operating system - 17.2, I believe

There is a new feature in Message ( indicated by a little red bar in the message box which allows you to dictate a message ..

Very dangerous imo, as it can pick up a conversation and text to someone if you are not careful

Does anyone know how to disable this

TIA

Are there any 3rd party apps or maybe is voice control turned on?

I just did the 17.2 dev beta update and have the same behavior as before-
I can use text to speech to answer a message but have to click the microphone
icon in the keyboard to start the voice capture.

It shows a blue microphone in this mode when the mic is hot and capturing.

Yes- How can we disable this ?

This is controlled by voice dictation in the keyboard under settings/general.

You can disable dictation which will remove the microphone from the keyboard.

YouTube has a quick video that walks thru the steps:
