I have used Android for years and for most Android phones, pressing power + Volume Down together takes a screenshot.
I have used my Google Pixel 6 for 2 years now, and the screenshot function has always worked perfectly fine.
Recently, an automatic update added the Google Assistant function to my phone. Now, when I press power + Volume Down, it no longer takes a screenshot but instead, the Google Assistant panel appears. Google Assistant is not available in my country, so unfortunately this panel cannot help me take a screenshot.
I tried turning off Google Assistant, and changing the default Digital Assistant app, but all the combinations of options I tried do not bring back the screenshot function. Here are the settings that I tried:
| Default digital assistant app | Google Assistant | What Happens when I press Power + Vol Down |
|------------------------------------------------|------------------------|--------|
| None | Off | Nothing |
| Google Assistant | On | Google Assistant launches, but Google Assistant is not available in my country so nothing happens
| Google Assistant | Off | A panel pops up that says Google Assistant is ready, and an Activate button |
How do I get back the screenshot functionality?
