How To Turn Off Google Assistant

Most Android users will have wondered how to turn off Google Assistant.

It’s a familiar story: you’ve got yourself a nice Android phone that works like a dream, but you keep accidentally triggering the built-in voice assistant. Perhaps Google Assistant is popping up when you say a certain phrase in conversation, or is responding to something someone says in TV show or commercial.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to turn off Google Assistant on your Android phone or tablet, or your Google Home or Nest smart speaker, to prevent the feature from bothering you.

How to turn off Google Assistant on an Android phone

1. Open the Google app on your Android phone (or tablet). Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and choose Settings. 

If you don’t see this option, tap the three-dot More button in the corner of your screen, and choose Settings there.

5. Some Android phones, such as the latest Motorola models, have Google Assistant built into their firmware, which means it can’t be disabled using the above methods.

If you don’t see the switch mentioned in steps 3 and 4, swipe down to the “All Settings” section on the Google Assistant settings screen. Tap General and switch off Google Assistant there. 

Tap “Turn Off” to confirm you want to completely disable the feature.

You can’t turn Google Assistant off on a Google Home or Nest speaker, but you can mute the microphone so that Google isn’t listening to you. Press the microphone button on your speaker to turn it on and off.

You’ll find this button on the back of Google Home and Google Nest speakers, and next to the power cord on a Google Home Mini/Google Nest Mini.
