I accidentally found out that if you swipe up on the bottom bezel Google Now opens.
Is this a hidden feature because it is nowhere mentioned in the Settings App.
It's the home (navigation)button. Look for navigation key in settings.

I am aware of the settings for the home button but I am talking about the area to the left and right of the home button.
Not a feature, it's a nuisance if you ask me.

Mine does not do it.
Yeah is so annoying is there anyway can disable it
It's only working when you have disabled the Navigation Bar.
I would like to disable it as well but I don't want to have the Navigation Bar.
I'm using swipe launch disabler from play Store to disable Google now swiping up.

Same here. My Navigation Bar is disabled, but mine doesn't do it either. (Thank god)
EDIT: Just realized something. This doesn't happen on mine because I had already disabled the Google App in 'Settings'.

I had a similar post about this, this week and got no responses. Hopefully someone will actually respond to this one. Not that I have my phone anyway its somewhere between here and the black hole at the center of the milky way.

GMD gesture control in the Play Store
This app does it. I have it configured to hide the soft keys with a three finger scroll down from top of the screen right under the notification bar.
If you do this I also recommend setting something to close the app and another gesture to go back inside of the app.
The back and menu buttons are useless since i use the gestures all the time.
How to disable them without rooted?

Thank you. But I tried it and did not find any settings to disable back and menu buttons in Simple Control.

An app named Floating Menu, similar to Pie control, but is in Chinese language only. I can use it for back/home/menu/lock screen/capture screen.
And nova launcher gestures for quick settings and notifications.
When I swipe up, either from the bottom edge of the screen OR up on the fingerprint sensor, it opens the Google app. This is usually a setting I've been able to turn off in other tablets but can't seem to figure out how to do so on my new M3. It's bothersome, especially because the gesture is overly sensitive on the fingerprint sensor/navigator ie I will attempt to go back (short press) or go home (long press) but it will pick up an upwards swipe and open up Google which I can't stand (it keeps spoiling the latest TV episodes I haven't watched yet!). Anyone know how to disable this? Just uninstall/disable the Google app?
Had the same issue so I disabled Google now. Then I installed another browser Opera and Firefox and now my browsers are using this gesture. A slight upward motion over the scanner and it opens now. I've not found a way to disable it. I tried using on screen navigation but prefer the button.
The only reliable way to disable this gesture is to deactivate the sensor in the navigation menu and then in the same menu you have to activate the navigation bar.
Actually I found if you enable both methods of navigation you no longer get the swipe up gesture activating Google now. It's not the ideal situation but I can use either method.
I install swipelaunch disabler by hairy robot. Its in google playstore.
Problem solved
Thank you @teruhiko666 ! That appears to have solved it and I can turn off the on screen buttons.
U r welcome jmjm003

Just got m3, it's very annoying to have that swipup gesture. Thank you for sharing, it's the best solution.
from "SwipeLaunch Disabler" description:
Important: For Marshmallow (Android 6), it is possible to disable the assist feature.
Follow below steps:
(1) goto "Settings > Apps > Advanced (the small gear icon) > Default Apps > Assists & voice input"
(2) select "none"

It worked for me. I'm on Android 6.x. I had to enable swipeup utility as default assist app. Then it worked fine. So much better. Before doing this, Everytime I typed it kept bringing up Google assistant. That was so annoying.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't see any documentation about setting the default app. How did you figure it out?

Is there a recommended app to use to for moto G play to disable certain apps? For instance, I use package disabler pro for my samsung s7.
I need to disable the google app from the long press home button for my 12 year old. We run norton family on chrome, but for whatever reason, the google now apps have always been exempt from norton filters. The phone did an update this morning and now I can't find any way to disable that feature or lock it with applock.

One more question I hope you'll know... As I was closing apps from the square "recent apps" button, the google search bar now appears at the top (and is accessible). Any ideas how to get rid of it? We are using Nova Launcher instead of google's native launcher, which helped get rid of the original google search bar on the home screen.

Nevermind, I figured it out after googling for a while. I had to restart the phone after your steps and then it no longer appeared in the recent apps screen.

Yup
..right
as google is so much integrated sometimes it needs reboot for the effect....
I see it sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket. I have no idea which combination of buttons/screen taps/ or whatever I'm doing to make it appear.
It's an LG memo app that came with the phone. If you double tap volume-up, it starts, bypassing the lock screen. I'm pretty sure you can change this in settings.
BTW, if you double tap volume-down, the camera app starts, bypassing the lock screen. THIS is very useful!

Thanks!
You can disable the memo app if it bothers you or you have no need for it.
Can the VOLUME UP shortcut be remapped?

That is the built-in screen capture. You may have been accidentally pressing the screen capture key. I can't remember anymore which one is the default, because I have re-assigned it somewhere else. You have the option to save it as image in Gallery app or the Quick Memo app.
