There are multiple ways to launch Assistant on Pixel smartphones and Android devices. The list of options increased with the release of\u00a0Android 12<\/a>. Instead of long-pressing the Side button to open a power menu, Pixels default to launching Google Assistant. Thankfully, you can disable this feature.<\/p>\n

Like App<\/a>le and Samsung, the change introduced in Android 12 allows you to launch Google Assistant\u2014at least on Pixel phones\u2014by long-pressing the physical power button. Up until its release, long-pressing the power button is how you restarted the phone. Thankfully, it\u2019s easy to reverse this functionality and get the old action back.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> This behavior doesn\u2019t appear to be enabled on devices that upgrade<\/em> to Android 12, but it is likely to be the default on phones and tablets\u2014especially Pixels\u2014that launch<\/em> with Android 12 or higher. It will be up to a device\u2019s manufacturer to set the default behavior.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First, swipe down (once or twice depending on your device\u2019s OEM) from the top of the screen to reveal Quick Settings. Tap the gear icon to open the Settings app.<\/p>\n

\"Swipe<\/p>\n

In the Settings menu, navigate to the \u201cSystem\u201d section.<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n

Next, go to \u201cGestures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Navigate<\/p>\n

Select the \u201cPower Menu\u201d option at the bottom of the list.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Finally, all you need to do here is toggle off the switch for \u201cHold for Assistant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Toggle<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The power button will now bring up the traditional \u201cPower Off\u201d and \u201cRestart\u201d options that you\u2019re used to. Small changes like this can be frustrating, so it\u2019s nice that it can at least be disabled.<\/p>\n

With the feature now turned off, here are other ways to launch Google Assistant easily.<\/p>\n
