Android phone: How do I turn off Google Assistant (hopefully forever)?

(1/1)

Subversive_plot:
I feel like I'm on "2001 a Space Odyssey" and I'm trying to shut off HAL.

As an old person, I hate having an inanimate object sticking it's nose in my business.

I've considered sealing the phone in a block of concrete and dropping it in a lake.  That might be extreme, and having a mobile phone would probably be required by my OH.  Turning it off until I feel like talking to someone might also be frowned upon by the Mrs.

HAL, I mean Google Assistant, will not let me look up "how do I turn off Google Assistant permanently".  Cat's out of the bag, GA knows I'm trying to kill it now.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thank you sir!

I figured I might hear from you.  Per the article, it is scary the surveillance your devices may be doing without permission.

That actually may be illegal.  I think that if you record a conversation in our state, at least one of the people involved must be aware of the recording (unless there is a court order).

I couldn't possibly comment on surveillance in the home ....  they might be listening  :lol:
