        "text": "If Google Assistant keeps randomly popping up like Google Now used to, it’s usually triggered by your microphone, a button, or a gesture—not a virus. You can stop the pop‑ups by adjusting activation methods and permissions.\n\nFalse triggers are common when headphones have a flaky button, the microphone picks up something like “Google,” or the home button/gesture shortcut is too sensitive. Some accessibility features can also summon Assistant unexpectedly.\n\nKey factors:\n- Disable **Hey Google** if background listening causes false triggers.\n- Check and change the **home button or side button** shortcut for Assistant.\n- Inspect headphone or Bluetooth button behavior.\n- Clear cache and update the Google app to rule out glitches.\n\nOpen Settings → Apps → Google Assistant or Google app → Permissions, and temporarily remove microphone permission to confirm if voice activation is the problem. Then adjust Hey Google & Voice Match or button shortcuts until pop‑ups stop.\n\nThink of it as turning down sensitivity rather than uninstalling the assistant completely.",
