I can get google assistant to work by saying "OK Google". However I cannot get the long press of the home button to bring it up. Any thoughts? Note 20 ultra on verizon. Thanks!

Works for me. Unlocked Ultra.

I believe you have to swipe diagonally upwards from either of the bottom corners. You should see like a half circle outlining the corner.

You using gestures or buttons?
 
buttons. If i switch to gestures I can get it from swiping up from the lower corner

I just tried with buttons and long press home brings Google assist.
Try going to settings >apps>3 dots upper right corner tap>default apps tap>Google assist is on and not set to none .Screenshot_20200826-202830_Settings.jpegScreenshot_20200826-203104_Permission%20controller.jpeg
 
I also can't bring up the assistant with a long home key press. I double checked settings and restarted the phone.
 
I confirmed that it's set up correctly and google is the default assistant app. I tried restarting the phone. I was able to get it to work on the screen corner with gestures (only Android gestures) with samsung gestures it doesn't work. With buttons (which I prefer) it doesnt work.

Try safe mode , see if any 3rd party app causing this
 
Strange, your phone pretty much stock ? No good lock or 3rd party launcher ?
 
Same problem here. Note10 Ultra 512Gb Vzw.

I have the same device (verizon ultra 512gb). THe button lights up when pressed so it senses the press. It's just not launching google. Scrounging around the internet it looks like this happens other previous android devices.

I too am having this problem. I have tried several ways to get it to work with long press on home button to launch google assistant. Didn't have this problem until i upgraded to the Note 20 Ultra. I suspect it has something to do with One UI v2.5. My Note 9 worked fine, but didn't run on 2.5.
 
Only other thing I can suggest is reset settings, to do this go to settings>type in search bar reset, reset settings option tap and then test , this will probably reset your home screen but need to know if it fixes it .
 
Tried that as well and didn't work. Perhaps it's a bug and a software update will fix it...
