The Google Voice Assistant listens to a certain command which is ‘Ok, Google’.
But sometimes the microphone starts up as a result of background noise or a thoughtless gesture. Let’s look at how to turn off Google Assistant.
It happens again and again that voice-controlled software starts up unnoticed and records fragments of conversation or background noises because a term has been used during the conversation that sounds similar to the signal word ’Ok, Google’. The Google Assistant, which usually listens to ‘Ok, Google’, is not immune to such errors either.
It is best to deactivate the Google voice assistant. Instructions that are given below explain how to turn off ‘Ok, Google’. However, there are different ways to achieve this, and depending on the model and manufacturer, the individual steps may be different. You can find step-by-step instructions here.
Alternatively, voice activation can also be switched off under the menu item ‘Voice input’ → ‘Voice Match’.
The option of revoking the Google app’s access to the smartphone’s microphone is also available. However, this also affects other app functions.
The app authorizations can also be managed centrally in the so-called ‘authorization manager’ under Android 10 and 11. To do this, open the app settings, tap on ‘Advanced’ and then on the ‘Authorization manager’.

Apart from turning off the Google Assistant or the microphone here, you can also see how many apps are accessing your smartphone microphone. If you want, you can revoke the access authorization. In most cases, however, it makes sense to allow access at least when the app is in use.
