I recently purchased a new Samsung A26 phone.  When I  tried to power off my phone yesterday at a funeral service by holding down the home button, I got no option to do so as the only thing that appears is the Gemini AI assistant!!!  It’s driving me mad that I can’t seem to switch the phone off.  Any help welcome.

You can power off by swiping down the notification menu and the power button will appear and you can power off from there.
