Google Assitant keeps popping up when trying to type a message

[UK1989IT]

Hi, since I got the 6.1 UI update, I cannot type any text anymore without Google assistant keeping popping up on my screen and closing my actual app text box. I cannot message anybody or type anything anywhere anymore. Really annoying. I have deactivated Google Assistant app but it still keeps popping up. Please help, this is so time consuming to just write this text as it seems the latest software update has broken my keypad!

Not sure what you mean with a busy screen. It is just a keypad and I do not tap the space bar for too long. (If I do it allows me to change between languages or use the keyboard as a virtual touchpad).
As I understand, google assistant is activated by a touch on the bottom left corner of the screen. Even after disabling the app it keeps popping up which is against any normal use of any app. This should not happen. And I am not the only one who is having this issue on an S23 phone and Samsung needs to address this as we cannot uninstall software updates.

Settings>display>navigation bar
Then toggle off Google assistant
I had the same issue, just fixed it this way.
