Deactivate this feature by going to “Settings”, then to “Accessibility”, navigate to “Audio/Visual”, select “Live Listen” and turn off “Remote Control”

From a colleague of mine:

New Apple update - The recent Apple IOS 27 update automatically enables “Live Listening” on Apple devices. This means that **all the iPhones and iPads** with this update, both **personal and operational**, are by default listening in on all conversations around them, 1/2 — Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social Deactivate this feature by going to “Settings”, then to “Accessibility”, navigate to “Audio/Visual”, select “Live Listen” and turn off “Remote Control” Mister Midnight @mstrmidnight.bsky.social From a colleague of mine: New Apple update - The recent Apple IOS 27 update automatically enables “Live Listening” on Apple devices.

@EthicalProfessor @beep That's not what Live Listen does. It is a function that uses *your iPhone* with *your headphones* or *your hearing aid* as a microphone for better accessibility. It does not "listen in on all conversations".

A Live Listen session needs to be initiated on your phone - or with the Remote control feature with one of *your* other devices like *your apple watch*.

It's all in the documentation: https://support.apple.com/en-euro/guide/iphone/iph8bf9386f5/ios

Apple Support

Use iPhone as a remote microphone with Live Listen - Apple Support

On iPhone, stream sound from the microphone to your MFi hearing devices or AirPods.

@beep No worries, it happens. And to be honest, Apple would do good to explain how these things work in the UI.

@EthicalProfessor @beep And why would you want to be able to remote control it? Imagine you're hard of hearing and in a classroom. Your iPhone can be with the teacher, and you can follow the lesson on your iPad using your hearing aids.
