Have you disabled Bixby on your Samsung phone?
Bixby’s been out for a few months at this point, and this is how some of our forum users choose to deal with Samsung’s virtual assistant.
If you’re the owner of a Galaxy S8/S8+ or Note 8, you’ve run into Bixby at least once or twice. Between the left-most home screen and dedicated hardware button, Samsung’s want for users to interact with its AI is quite apparent.
Bixby has proven itself to be surprisingly great for certain tasks, but to no one’s surprise, it still falls behind Google Assistant in other areas. Now that Bixby’s been out in the wild for a few months, we wanted to check back in with some of our forum users to see whether or not you’re still using Bixby.
Here’s what you had to say.

I did it.
It works reliably for me.
I use BK Disabler.
I mapped Google Maps to the button.Note that I also still have Bixby voice activated and use it for just a couple programmed Voice Commands. Not a big fan of Bixby but there are a couple things it can do that I want it for.
