How-to Disable and Remove Gemini from Your Phone?

Here’s a detailed description (step-by-step) explaining how you can remove Google Gemini (or Google’s AI Assistant) from the power button on Motorola Edge 50 Fusion.

What you want to achieve and what causes the issue?

• By default, on many modern Android/Motorola phones, long-pressing (or pressing & holding) the power button triggers the AI Assistant (Gemini / Google Assistant) instead of showing the normal “Power menu” (shutdown/restart).
• You want to reverse this — so that pressing/holding the power button shows the normal power-off / restart menu (or no action), and Gemini/Assistant does not automatically open.

🔧 Steps to Remove Gemini from Power Button on Motorola Edge 50 Fusion

On Motorola devices (including Edge 50 Fusion), you can usually re-configure what the power button does. Follow these steps:

1. Open Settings
   Go to the phone’s Settings app.

2. Go to Gestures (or System → Gestures)
   Navigate to Settings → Gestures (or sometimes System → Gestures depending on Android version / UI).

3. Choose Power button behaviour
   Under Gestures, find the option for Power key / Power button.

4. Set Long-press to “Power menu”

   1. Tap “Press & hold power button” (or similar).

   2. Instead of “Digital assistant” or “AI assistant”, select “Power menu” (or “No action” if you prefer).

   3. This ensures the usual power menu (shutdown / restart / emergency) appears instead of triggering Gemini / Assistant.

5. Optional — Disable double-press or other power-button shortcuts

   1. Also check “Double press power key” (if available) and set it to “None” or something other than assistant, if you don’t want any accidental triggers.

6. If you don’t want Gemini / Assistant at all: disable it

   1. Open the app drawer, find Gemini (or Google Assistant), long-press the icon → tap “App info”.

   2. Tap Force Stop and then Disable (or at least prevent activation) so that it won’t trigger even by other means.

   3. Alternatively, go to Settings → Apps → Default apps → Digital assistant app, and set “None” (or remove assistant as default) if this option is present.

⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations

• Depending on your phone’s OS version or updates, the menu name or exact path might vary (Gestures → Power key, or System → Gestures → Power button, etc.).
• On some Android builds or with certain customizations, the option to disable assistant activation might be missing or greyed out. Users have reported — even after disabling Gemini — power-button long-press still triggers Gemini.
• Disabling the assistant entirely might limit some voice-assistant-related functionalities (voice commands, “Hey Google”, etc.).
• If after disabling and changing gesture settings the assistant still appears on long-press, a third-party tool (button remapper) might be required — but use with caution (may need accessibility permissions, may affect phone stability)

🎯 What to Do Step-by-Step (Recommended Order)

• Settings → Gestures → Power button → Press & hold → select Power menu (not Digital/AI Assistant)
• (Optional) Settings → Gestures → Double press power key → set to None (or another harmless action)
• Go to App Drawer → find Gemini (or Google Assistant) → App info → Disable (optional, if you don’t want it at all)
• Test — long-press the power button → power off / restart menu should appear instead of Gemini / Assistant

✅ Summary — What This Fixes

• Prevents Gemini (or Google Assistant) from opening when you press or hold the power button on your Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
• Restores normal power-menu (shutdown / restart) behavior
• Gives you back predictable button behavior and avoids accidental assistant activation
