Do you mean a pop up from accidentally summoning Google assistant from holding the home button? I've had that issue on a couple Android phones and have had good luck going into settings and disabling it.

No I disabled the assistant. I tend to always do that, because in the past I've found them to be nuisances. This is the first phone where I'll fart and it pops up "want to turn Google Assistant on?"

Pain in the ass.
