For the most part, Google Assistant is one of the most useful tools on Android. Of all the virtual assistants that we have access to on this side of operating systems, Google Assistant is perhaps the best there is. While I have made a habit of using it every day, I do know a lot of people who prefer not having any virtual assistant because they believe having a smartphone without an assistant is much better. Therefore, if you want to disable Google Assistant, then this post is for you, as we are going to teach you how to do so.
Considering how Google Assistant is not tied to a specific OEM version of Android, this method applies to all Android phones. Using this method, you can simply disable Google Assistant on all Android phones if you do not want the feature to be up and running.
