What happened to swipe up from the corner to activate Gemini?

[SOS-SaveOurSmartphon]

I'm on OneUI 7, and by default the option to activate Gemini by swiping from the bottom corner of the screen is gone. Does anyone know of a way to bring it back?

After months of us getting used to it, they forcefully took it away. The swipe for assistant in the navigational bar section has been removed too. They replaced it with a one time noticification of using the side button.

Still, they might bring it back soon. It's happened before.

Hold side key to activate Gemini is the new shortcut to activate it one UI7 now. I hope it helps.

That doesn't help. That's the power menu.

It can be changed to gemini now. The power menu can be activated by holding down side key and vol. down together for 1 sec. It does the same.

Did you actually read the messages before? You sound like an AI.

R u slow or something? That feature is gone is what I'm saying It has been replaced. Im letting that person know how to get it to work without loosing the option to have the power menu when hitting the side key. Did u not read both of my comments?

Since this is the Google Assistant I am not sure if Samsung had a choice to keep the feature. It appears to have been removed from the Pixel phones for a few models now. Maybe Samsung thought it interfered with the use of circle to search by long pressing the navigation bar but just guessing.

The choices you have now are changing the side button long press from power menu to Google Assistant or turn on "Hey Google/OK Google" in the Assistant settings. If you do the latter make sure you retrain your voice so you get a better match. You could also put the Gemini app on you home screen, tap on it to open and then tap the microphone.

I noticed it missing on the One UI Beta and I turned on the "Hey Google" feature and I actually don't even miss the swipe gesture. This is coming from a person that hates change and if I can get used to the switch in a short period of time and not even miss it then maybe give it a shot and try one of the other options.

Bring back the corner swipe gesture to

launch Assistant in One UI 7. It's a

universal Android feature. It worked in

One UI 6. There's no reason it should be

gone. 

Aditionally this creates inconsistancies between versions oneui 6/6.1 and oneui 7  

Also also samsung devs have the frameworks and ability to bring this back it if  nothing just let it be enabled via goodlock/navstar

Google is the owner of Android, they mandated this change not Samsung. Google Assistant is going by the wayside, it will be just Gemini.

You can summon Google with your voice.
