Now that you know how to disable and re-enable it, just go ahead and try it on your device and tell us exactly what it is about Google Assistant that annoys you, because we’d love to get your perspective on this.

    Thank you very much!

  • Jim Kiernan says:

    NONE of these steps work on my Droid Maxx. I need to turn it off since I’m getting spammed with LGBTQ crap from the google assistant. If i can’t figure out how to stop that garbage I’m gonna flush this POS down the toilet and go get an Iphone. It’s absolutely ridiculous to be ramming this BS down the throat of all android users (including children)

  • Ziara says:

    The problem I’m facing is that whenever I use my earphones Google assistant just keeps sending me notifications to turn it on. Without the earphones it doesn’t bother me. But when I use them, it starts to really irritate me. Is there anything I can do to make it stop from doing that?

  • joninio says:

    What version of Android is this on? I have 7.1 on Motorola 5GS and don’t see these options.

  • Arush says:

    I didn’t even get Google Assistant..
    InFocus bingo 21 or M430
