Hi,
I am using an iPhone for the first time and somehow changed the settings such that my keyboard is typing out every word it picks up from the surrounding sounds. e.g. if I try to use Whatsapp while the TV is on, it is forming random words and phrases in between my actual texts. My dictation settings are off.
What can I do here?
iPhone 14 Pro
If you don't use Voice Control maybe check to see if it accidentally was turned it on. There would be a Blue circled microphone in the top left of your iPhone screen if it was On and listening.
To turn it off you can ask Siri to turn off Voice control or go into settings > accessibility > Voice control and turn the green switch off.
With voice control on, that will input text into a text Field just like Dictation would.
Just mentioning is a possibility.

Does this happen with Messages and other Apple apps too? Or just Whatsapp?
Thanks! This is exactly what happened. Now that I've turned off Voice Control, the issue is gone. :)
Great! Glad it was an easy fix ;)
