After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Following. I HATE the voicemail transcription. It jams up my entire voicemail screen making it hard to move on to the next voicemail....and I get a lot of voicemail. There's got to be a way to turn this off.
After WEEKS of dealing with voicemail transcription issues there is only ONE workaround so far that I can get to trick transcribing into not functioning.
1. Go into phone settings
2. Go to Siri
3. Change Siri language to Japanese or some other language that doesn't sound like English
After doing this, voicemail transcription will not be able to transcribe your voicemails. Instead it will just say "Transcription Unavailable". At least this way the already clunky visual voicemail doesn't have to work overtime trying to transcribe messages. I hope this helps.
What device do you have? I have a 6s Plus & 7 Plus...no issues on either with transcription

You can't disable that.

Leave Apple a request for it.
