    Which phone do you have? I’ve been able to disable that “swipe left to access Google” thing on every Google Pixel I’ve ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.

      OnePlus 8T. One day they pushed an update that removed the option to disable it. Obviously they have a contract with Google so that they profit from this, and it sucks .

      When I have some time I might reinstall some new OS on it that removes all that crap
