Turning off your Google Pixel phone may sound like a simple task, but there might be some confusion for those who are new to the device or haven’t had to turn it off before. In this article, we’ll walk you through the various methods to turn off your Google Pixel phone.

Method 1: Power Button

The simplest way to turn off your Google Pixel phone is by pressing and holding the power button. The location of the power button may vary according to the model. If you’re using the Google Pixel 2, the power button is located on the right side of the phone. For Google Pixel 3 or 4, the power button is at the right side of the frame, the volume rocker above it.

To turn off your phone using this method, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the power button.
2. You should see a menu pop up on your screen.
3. Select the ‘Power off’ option by tapping on it.

Method 2: Settings Menu

Another way to turn off your Google Pixel phone is by using the settings menu. This method is useful if your power button isn’t working, or if you prefer to use a software solution.

Follow these simple steps to turn off your phone via the settings menu:

1. Open the Settings app by tapping the icon on your home screen or app drawer.
2. Scroll down and tap ‘System.’
3. On the System page, tap ‘Advanced.’
4. Tap ‘Shutdown’ on the screen that appears.
5. Select ‘Power off’ to turn off your phone.

Method 3: Google Assistant

If you’re feeling extra tech-savvy, you can try to turn off your phone using Google Assistant — the voice assistant on your Google Pixel phone. The downside of this method is that you must enable Google Assistant and set it up before you can use it.

If you have Google Assistant enabled, you can turn off your phone by saying: “Ok Google, turn off my phone.”

Alternatively, you can hold down the home button to activate Google Assistant and then say the same.

After saying the command, your phone will turn off.
