Call Recording button cannot be disabled in the Dialer/Phone app

[disneymom2twins]

Besides just hating all the ui changes (it wasn't broke so why "fix" it??), the addition of the record button to the dialer screen is INSANELY BAD AND THERE'S NO WAY TO DISABLE IT. I cannot use earbuds. I have to hold my phone to my ear. My only working ear. And it's CONSTANTLY triggering the record function. Purple are getting passed off (and I don't blame them). I know people in the legal & medical professions who are having their employment threatened because they're having the same issue. Not only was the icon NOT needed on the dial screen, to force it and not offer a way to disable it is absolute lunacy. Whoever did this UI update design should be FIRED. You need to make a kill switch for this stupid recording function NOW. 

The only "workaround" is to use a different dialer (I'm using phone by Google). But i SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. And this problem is not unique to S21 models, it affects EVERYONE and it's dreadful. FIX THIS.

I am sorry this is happening to you, and I hope there will be a fix for those that are experiencing this issue.

With that being said, this has never happened to me on my device. I hold my phone to my left ear and have never triggered the record button.

For me, it sends the warning that it's recording as soon as I answer the call.

I don't know how that is possible, I've had it for almost 5 months. It has never happened to me once. I put my phone to my left ear and never triggered it. How the heck do you hold your phone to your ear?

For me, my phone was setting on the table when I answered it.

[Robin621k]

On speaker phone?

[officialguy]

Yeah

[Robin621k]

Why do I have a very hard time with you saying it triggers on its own

I have the same issue. I can't turn it off.
