I bought my first smartphone in 2016, and it had voice activated dialing. I would sometimes be sitting in my living room watching TV, with my phone on the table beside me, and it would pick up something from the TV and start dialing. Sounds from the environment around me would also set it off when I was outside. I took it back where I bought it and had them turn it off for me, and when I bought a new smartphone a few years ago, the first thing I did before even taking it home was to get them to turn voice dialing off.
