To turn off Google Assistant on an Android phone, open the Google app and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner. Then go to Settings > Google Assistant > General, and toggle off the Google Assistant option.
Detailed Steps to Turn Off Google Assistant
- Open the Google app on your device.
- Tap your profile picture or icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Tap on "Google Assistant."
- Scroll down and select "General."
- Find the toggle for "Google Assistant" and switch it off.
This disables Google Assistant completely, including voice activation and long-press home button triggers. If you want to turn it back on later, follow the same steps and toggle it on again. If the device uses Gemini instead of Google Assistant, you might first need to switch back to Google Assistant before you can disable it. These are the standard current instructions for most Android devices with Google Assistant.
