Why is my home key taking me to Google search continuously?

[AC Question]

Every time I hit the home key to get out of my current app, I am now taken to a page with a keyboard open that offers me "Search, or say "OK Google" " Below is a list of recent searches. Hitting the home key again does not change the page, 90% of the time.

Try a Cache Partition wipe. Try also clearing the app cache in Settings, Storage, Cached Data.

I was just having the same problem and my searching for answers brought me to your issue. I kept on looking and just decided to restart my phone and BOOM it doesn't do it anymore. Hopefully you can try this and it will work for you too.

Restart your phone! Should do the trick.
