Google still detects my voice when I turn off Assistant After I have disabled Google Assistant in the Google settings the phone continues to show a black bar displayed with an icon of a microphone, with the words:


  Say "Hey Google" 


If I say "Hey Google" it detects my voice and shows a new window. I was just wondering why this is happening if Assistant has been disabled.
Android Police blog fully disable OK Google listening android phone suggests a couple of ways :


Disable the Google Assistant and Voice Match



  .... doesn't actually stop your phone from listening for commands; it only prevents it from reacting to them



Deny Google microphone permission, which is a better option. Depending on your Android version, it will take some searching to find the app setting. It will throw up a warning, but that can be ignored. Note that Google related functionality using microphone may be affected.
