how to turn off Google's Gemini "AI" assistant on your phone. works on my fairphone5.

you can turn off the shortcut for activating assistant by long pressing the middle button: search for "button" in the settings app)

you can also turn off the shortcut for activating assistant by long pressing the physical on/off button: search for "gestures" (in german it's "gesten und bewegungen", it's in settings under "system"

#AI #android #Gemini

could someone "program" a blank "AI assistant" for android? if it's possible to switch between "google assistant" and "gemini", it should be possible to install a third? preferably one that doesn't do anything but prevents google forcing their thing on me every chance they get

@jollysea Firefox offers their search bar as one but I can also just choose "none"
