▲ 464 ▼ On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant (discuss.tchncs.de) submitted 9 months ago by lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de to c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world 108 comments fedilink hide all child comments Who would need to press the power button to actually turn off or restart the device, right? The setting to change this is also pretty much buried under Settings -> Special Features -> Gestures. (Yes, I have no idea why the Assistant is in German when the phone is set to English either 🫠)
