Help Samsung A54 forced Gemini and it won't quit. Power off button change.

The single lower right button was nice. You press and can shut down, restart, etc. Starting yesterday some secret clandestine "upgrade" changed the phone so that one button brings up Gemini. I don't want it. The directions to disable Gemini is to force stop it. So in Settings ---> Apps, Gemini shows 0 k, and pressing force stop does not stop it. There is no uninstall option.

Now to turn off the phone one must artfully press the lower two side buttons simultaneously.

How may I revert this A54 to the easier old way of one button turn off and how to stop Gemini?

Found the solution. Settings for side button!! Yippee. Pressing the two buttons to activate Gemini would be okay, but didn't see that as an option.

Simple disable google's app.
 
As stated above, disabling in Settings ---> Apps did not work. Only changing button settings worked. Having to press two buttons in order to restart or power off is ridiculous.
Don't you have your acessory menu options like mine, down below to emble to turn on and off your cell at any moment?

I'm using an Android phone, not a tablet. BUT I did find a side button setting, changed it, and now it works like before.
 
This is Google's latest brainwave. On my Pixel I had to find the side button settings and change it to bring up the power menu instead, since it came pre-set to trigger Gemini (and disabling Gemini was one of the first things I'd done when I logged into the phone).
