To turn off voice control, primarily Google Assistant and its Voice Match feature, on your Huawei P30, you need to navigate through your device's settings to disable these functions. This will prevent your phone from responding to voice commands like "Hey Google."
Steps to Disable Google Assistant and Voice Match
Follow these steps to deactivate the main voice control features on your Huawei P30:
- Activate Assistant Access: Tap and hold the On/Off (power) button on your Huawei P30. This action often triggers the Google Assistant interface or a menu that provides access to it.
- Locate Explore Icon: Once the Google Assistant interface appears, tap the explore icon. This icon typically looks like a compass or a map pin.
- Access Profile: Tap the profile icon (usually a circular image of your Google account picture or an initial) located in the upper right corner.
- Open Settings: From your profile menu, tap Settings.
- Select Assistant: Within the Settings menu, tap on Assistant.
- Choose Your Device: Tap on Phone under the "Assistant devices" section.
- Disable Google Assistant: Locate the indicator (toggle switch) next to "Google Assistant" and tap it to turn the function off. This will prevent the Assistant from launching or responding.
- Turn Off Voice Match: Find the indicator next to "Access with Voice Match" and tap it to turn this function off. This specifically disables the "Hey Google" detection that allows the Assistant to activate by your voice.
By following these steps, you will have effectively disabled the primary voice control mechanisms on your Huawei P30, ensuring it no longer responds to voice commands.
Understanding Voice Control on Your Huawei P30
On Android devices like the Huawei P30, "voice control" predominantly refers to the Google Assistant. This powerful AI-powered assistant can perform a wide range of tasks, from setting alarms and sending messages to providing information and controlling smart home devices, all through voice commands.
- Google Assistant: The central voice control hub, always listening for its hotword if "Voice Match" is enabled.
- Voice Match: This specific feature allows the Google Assistant to recognize your voice and respond when you say "Hey Google" or "OK Google," even when your phone is locked or you're using another app. Disabling this is crucial for completely turning off passive voice detection.

Important Considerations
- Other Voice Features: While disabling Google Assistant and Voice Match covers the main voice control, some specific apps (e.g., certain navigation apps or accessibility features) might have their own in-app voice commands. These would need to be disabled separately within those app settings if you wish to turn them off.
- Restarting Your Device: After making significant changes to system settings, sometimes restarting your Huawei P30 can help ensure all changes are fully applied.
