    And to get the reboot option on Pixels, long press Power and Volume Up. Infinitely more annoying than just long pressing the power button.

      What? Do you mean to get the pop up on screen? That’s still a simple long press on the power button. I just did it now on my Pixel.

      Long power + Vol Up does a hard reboot directly without calling the power menu

        But it also takes like 10-15 seconds of holding it. Not something you can do when a cop holds out his hand for your phone.

          For a hard reboot yea. It’s faster to do the onscreen menu which pops up in like a second

          Or you can root and restore such powers to Tasker

        Default after Pixel 5 is to bring up Google Assistant with a long press of the power button.

          Then they must have changed their minds again, I haven’t changed this setting so it’s default has been long press for power button

          But I did find the setting so you can change it and not worry about it anymore: Settings > System > Gestures > Press and Hold power button

            Thank you! I looked it up before and the only thing I found was that the default setting had changed.
