Disable the google app and assistant app on Android. Ez. You'll never have to deal with it again you're welcome.

Or use ADB and remove them, that's what I did with all the Samsung and Google junk in this phone.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I did that but then had to reinstall because for some godforsaken reason Duolingo speaking exercises don't work without it. They work if it's disabled but not if it's gone.

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah, this is one of the first things I did and I've not seen the Google Assistant for years.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 3 points 2 months ago

This is the way.

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Is there a way to get rid of the search bar on my home screen?

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Use a custom launcher. IIRC google requires companies using google services to include it.

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks! I haven't used a non-standard launcher in years. What do you recommend?

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

I used Pie Launcher for some time, but I'm not an expert.

[-] xan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

I use Niagara Launcher. Some others include Smart Launcher, Revo Launcher (Wii), mLauncher (minimal), and Nova Launcher.

Not without a custom launcher. On mine the bar doesn't really do anything else other than search the settings. I have all the suggestion options disabled
