What happens if it doesn't work at all?

Oh my God, thank you so much! This feature completely broke the wireless remote I use in my car. Long pressing a button would give you the Google assistant, but now it just gives you this useless circle to search feature which isn't what you want while driving. Really hoping this makes the button do what it did before!!

Do u know how to remove that button entirely? It gets in the way of the navigation gestures

[davidobrien]

My circle to search does not respond when I hold down the home button. Is there a setting a further setting I need to change?

[britishogo]

I have s23 ultra, just updated to one ui 6.1... I want to keep circle to search, but remove the hideous bar at the bottom of the screen which now appeared. I prefer to have NO visible home bar, and I use advance gestures via one hand operation.

Is there a way to keep circle to search, without the bar??

I got update one ui 6.1 but i dont have circle to search option into the Navigation bar settings. What can I do?
Please tell me...

I need to remove that crap "circle to search" entirely, I just want to get back the Recent, Home and Back swipe gestures the same way they were, they are crap now, samsung messes up bad

[ToniShehu-yq]

But now you can't hide the hint bar at the bottom anymore 🤦‍♀️
Now days they add one thing and remove two of them. My last samsung phone, so frustrated and tired of them.

[mpoveroni]

So now I can't use my Google Assistant when I hold the button I'm going to be pissed coming from s23 ultra
