Resolved Launch digital assistant feature not working

[YCUng519]

Launch digital assistant feature (Press and hold the Power button for 0.5s) not working
It is possible to launch the digital assistant with a double backtap, so it seems to be a bug in the function to launch the assistant by pressing the power button for 0.5 seconds.
FUXI 2.0.107.0

Can confirm the exact same issue on NUWA 2.0.106.0. Launching assistant with power button feature is not working indeed, while any other way to launch it (back tap, pulling from the corner etc) is working perfectly fine.

Issue with Google Assistant not launching by "Press and hold the power button for 0.5s" (when enabled) on certain China-based ROMs patched for next builds.
Was caused by inconsistent region checks in Xiaomi's code.

What do you mean by back tap? What is it? I've only found something about it for iPhone not Android. I'd appreciate some more I fo as I need some quick and easy way to launch the assistant in the meantime it's not working with the power button

That's one of the gestures. Settings -> Additional settings -> Gesture shortcuts
