So I had my new iPad beside me and it wasn't being used. I was on the phone with my computer guy and it suddenly repeated something that I said and searched for an answer.
I hadn't touched it at all. Is this normal? Is it spying on me??? I can't find a way to turn off the microphone.

I'm pretty sure you just need to turn off voice search - it was probably enabled as a default.

ahhh Chap! What would I do without you? I googled how to find the voice search, but it was turned off. I clicked to keep it off, I think.
I must have said something that sounded like "okay Google", but it was turned off..... Weird stuff.

I'm not crazy about voice search - I know someone who uses it on her phone and it always takes her twice as long to find anything as I can just poking at the screen.

Yeah-I don't use it much on my cell since it never hears me correctly.

I keep my OK Siri enabled and also Hey Alexa on my AZ tablet too just because I live alone and figure they are usually nearby and maybe can act as a sort of Life Alert button. Siri will often mistake some of my mumbling as a command though.

After hearing how the new Samsung cell sent a bunch of pics to a guy's girlfriend while he was sleeping, I am thinking that these things have a hidden life of their own.
And also the report that an Alexa sent the conversation of a family to their neighbor.....
