Solution to "Hey Google" not working after Android 13 security update

"Hey Google" (AKA, Google Assistant) stops working after the phone is rebooted after installing the June 2023 security update. It seems the update turns off Google Assistant. To get it back it was necessary to not only toggle Assistant ON, but also retrain voice match (as though setting it up for the first time). Odd, but no further issue since doing this. HTH!
 
what phone do you have? it works great on my z fold 4 with android 13 never had any issues, nor did i have to do anything to it.
Google Pixel 5. Reddit also has similar reports of this happening, though none of them mention the reboot.
