After I have disabled Google Assistant in the Google settings the phone continues to show a black bar displayed with an icon of a microphone, with the words:

Say "Hey Google"

If I say "Hey Google" it detects my voice and shows a new window. I was just wondering why this is happening if Assistant has been disabled.

Android Police blog fully disable OK Google listening android phone suggests a couple of ways :

  1. Disable the Google Assistant and Voice Match

.... doesn't actually stop your phone from listening for commands; it only prevents it from reacting to them

  1. Deny Google microphone permission, which is a better option. Depending on your Android version, it will take some searching to find the app setting. It will throw up a warning, but that can be ignored. Note that Google related functionality using microphone may be affected.
