What is Samsung Bixby App & how do I use it ?
Bixby is a virtual assistant that makes it easier to use your phone, giving you more time to focus on what matters the most. Bixby learns, evolves and adapts to what you like to do, working alongside your favourite apps and services to help you get more done. Bixby will remember how you interact with it, to give you a more individualised experience. The more you use Bixby, the better it will become at adjusting to your needs.
Bixby is integrated into many of the functions in your phone and can be used in different ways, depending on what you are doing. Choose a Bixby function to learn more about:

How do I activate Bixby?
Activating Bixby will differ depending on the device you are using and your preferred settings. Bixby can be activated using the side key or Bixby key, which are both located underneath the volume buttons on the left hand side of your device.
If your device has a Bixby key, pressing it once will open Bixby home, no matter what you are doing with your device at the time. You can also activate Bixby voice by holding down the Bixby key.
If your device has a side key, you can launch Bixby Home by pressing and holding the side key.
If you’re not signed in to your Samsung account, you will be prompted to sign in.
You will now be taken through a tutorial on what Bixby can do and how to use it.
Please note: you can't currently disable the Bixby key. The closest possible option is to set Bixby to open with a double press of the Bixby key, so you can use a single press to activate your preferred app or command
Depending on your choice, you can now set a single or double press of the Bixby key to activate an app or command.
On devices with a side key, you can set it to open apps, features or to open the power off menu. This means that you can choose whether the side key will activate Bixby.

If Bixby is having trouble recognising your voice or isn't working as you would expect, it may help to reset Bixby. Bixby's features are divided into separate apps, making it easy to reset the specific feature that you are having difficulty with.
