Disable Google Assistant on the Power button on MIUI 14

Have you tried turning off or restarting your phone after updating to MIUI 14? No? Then try it and you'll be surprised. Google or Xiaomi or both have decided to put Google Assistant on the power button. When you long press it for 0.5 sec, it will bring up the Help interface at the bottom of the screen. If you want to turn it off or restart the phone, you have to keep pressing it and the menu comes in.

Google Assistant is an artificial intelligence-based personal assistant application, developed by Google. The app is available on Android and iOS devices and also works as a voice-based service for Google Assistant. Google Assistant offers a range of features, including allowing users to ask questions, request weather reports, get news updates, schedule events, request directions or even listen to music.

The way the app works means that Google Assistant can understand natural language and dynamically adapt to each user's personal preferences and usage patterns. The app also addresses privacy issues and securely manages information uploaded by users.

The service supports more and more languages and is constantly expanding its functionality. It can be very useful in our daily lives, helping us to answer questions and use our time more efficiently.

On the other hand, at the moment it's quite annoying and there are other ways to call out the Assistant. First there is the voice based "Hey Google", and he is already listening to your question. So, let's disable this great option on the Power button. Go right here:

Settings - Additional settings - Shortcuts gestures - Launch Google Assistant

Simply turn it off and you're done. If you don't have it here, feel free to say so on Facebook or post in the forum/community and we'll find it for you.
