Voice Control lets you operate your iPhone entirely with your voice — perfect for hands-free use while driving, cooking, or when accessibility is needed. This AvNexo guide explains how users in the U.S. and Canada can enable and customize Voice Control to navigate apps, dictate text, and perform system commands without touching the screen.
Voice Control gives you full control over your device using only your voice. It’s ideal for:
Hands-free navigation while your hands are occupied.
Accessibility support for users with mobility limitations.
Dictation and editing in apps like Messages or Notes.
Voice-based system commands such as launching apps, adjusting volume, or taking screenshots.
AvNexo Tip: Voice Control works offline after setup — no constant internet connection required.
Before enabling Voice Control, make sure your iPhone runs the latest iOS version to ensure feature compatibility.
Go to Settings → General → Software Update.
If an update is available, tap Download and Install.
Wait for installation and restart your device.
Once your iPhone is updated, you can activate Voice Control from Accessibility settings.
Open Settings → Accessibility.
Tap Voice Control.
Select Set Up Voice Control.
Tap Continue, then Done when setup finishes.
You’ll see a blue microphone icon in the status bar — this means Voice Control is active and listening.
AvNexo Tip: You can also say “Hey Siri, turn on Voice Control” to enable it quickly.
After setup, try these simple commands:
“Go Home” — return to the Home screen.
“Open Safari” — launch an app.
“Scroll down” or “Swipe left.”
“Tap [button name]” to press on-screen buttons.
“Take a screenshot.”
You can also say “Show Commands” to see all available options.
Voice Control includes advanced dictation tools for composing texts or emails.
Open any text field (Messages, Notes, etc.).
Speak naturally — Voice Control converts your speech to text.
Use editing commands like:
“Select last word.”
“Replace it with [new word].”
“Delete that.”
AvNexo Tip: Unlike Siri dictation, Voice Control continues working even without an internet connection.
You can create personalized commands to fit your habits.
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Voice Control → Customize Commands.
Tap Create New Command.
Enter your phrase and assign an action (like opening a specific app).
Tap Save.
Example: Say “Open Instagram” to instantly launch the app.
To toggle Voice Control quickly:
Use Siri: “Turn off Voice Control.”
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Voice Control → Off.
Add Voice Control to Accessibility Shortcut (triple-click side button).
AvNexo Tip: If you’re using CarPlay, disable Voice Control to prevent conflicts with Siri commands.
If Voice Control isn’t responding or fails to activate:
Make sure the microphone is clean and unobstructed.
Check Settings → Accessibility → Voice Control → Language and ensure English (U.S.) is selected.
Restart your iPhone.
Disable then re-enable Voice Control.
For persistent issues, contact Apple Support (U.S.) for further help.
