The Samsung Galaxy S25 with One UI 7 abandoned the corner edge swipe to activate assistant. Instead now opting to use the power button as the only means to activate assistant. This was a terrible choice. I'm confident I am not the only one who doesn't want to use the power button to activate the assistant and be forced to hold in the power and volume down to turn their devices off. Samsung bring back the option to edge swipe for assistant in the display navigation menu. This should never have been removed.
Making edit so this post can be seen again:
The solution to power off device via the optional quick settings panel is not relevant. In fact, it completely negates the point of the physical buttons on S25 series. If people want to use the power button as the assistant toggle, that's great! However, not everyone wants to. Nor do people want to use the on screen power button option.
Please do not suggest the on screen power button as a solution, because it 100% is not.
The solution for this issue is for Samsung to reintegrate the corner swipe to engage Gemini assistant. It's all about giving the users options to interact with the device however they want. Not being arbitrarily limited.
Please upvote this post so Samsung software engineers will see it. Thank you!
