iPhone records conversations and sends them when I’m not recording a text

After I type and send a text my iPhone will record my random private conversations and send them to person I previously texted. Usually I’m talking to my cat but yikes…

iPhone 16 Plus, iOS 18

Sending would still require action on your part.

That's why I asked what they say to the cat. If it's something like "Hey, guess what? I just sent a text to Jane to tell her what a bad cat you've been" then just maybe......

Thanks for all responses. I don’t think it is what I’m saying, I think it is a “audio feature” I’m not meaning to activate. I use the microphone for dictating texts but this is an icon appearing where the microphone icon or send arrow should be…it is red and I’ve seen it and other icons appear on a pop up blank screen but when I need the screen, I don’t know how to find it and if I do have it pop up, I don’t know how to delete or turn it off. I’m old and just can’t keep up with all the new features Apple provides.
