How to Turn Off Vivo Y21D Without Confusion (Shutdown, Restart, and Force Shutdown)

Have you ever tried to turn off your Vivo Y21D, but the power button instead opened Google Assistant ? If so, you're not alone. New Vivo users often experience initial confusion because the power button doesn't immediately bring up the power menu.

This isn't due to an error, but rather because Vivo's system has enabled the Google Assistant shortcut on the power button. So, when you long-press the button, the Voice Assistant option doesn't appear, but rather the Power Off/Restart option.

This article will cover the most complete solution:

• turn off Vivo Y21D with buttons,

• restore the power button function like a normal Android phone,

• restart without turning off,

• and force shutdown if the phone hangs.

After reading this, you will not be confused anymore.

Why Can't Vivo Y21D Be Turned Off from the Power Button Directly?

By default, the power button on the Vivo Y21D is directed to open Google Assistant. Vivo implemented this to make voice shortcuts quicker to use.

However, for some users, this feels less practical, especially when they want to turn off their cellphone quickly.

The good news:

The power menu function is not removed, only the method is moved.

You can still turn off your phone using a combination of buttons or change the settings so that the power button acts as a power button again.

Restarting is done without completely turning off the device, so the process is faster than a total shutdown.

How to Turn Off Vivo Y21D If It Hangs (Force Shutdown)

If your phone freezes or the screen is unresponsive, and the power menu won't open, use a forced shutdown.

Force shutdown steps:

1. Press and hold the Power button for 10–15 seconds.
