    I've never pressed the Bixby button & forgot about it, even though my left thumb rests on it all the time (in portrait mode) until this came up, but I haven't signed into a Samsung account so I can't use it anyway.

    Okay Samsung fine, keep Bixby on the button, but you must allow the user to assign it to their choice of either:
    Single press, Double press or Long press, & allow the other 2 optons to be User defined.

      AnonD-794217, 02 Mar 2019It isn’t that bad. But Google Assistant has more feature, a... moreAgreed. They need to make Bixby faster and better and smarter before forcing it on us.

        ypcx, 02 Mar 2019No! All we need is to stop buying Samsung phones until they... moreNah. Then the phone has no identify. One UI is great.

          Finally I can switch now to Google assistant to my S9+ instead of Bixby.

            No! All we need is to stop buying Samsung phones until they start respecting the buyer. Demand Android One on your phones.

It's a deliberate and clever button that really isn't anything but another button on a phone. But, it's generated more gadget blog posts than any volume rocker or power button has ever managed.
              Free advertisement because people can't stop getting triggered by the most banal things.

                  already done that with BXmapper. the Bixby button on my note 9 is set to recognise songs by launching Shazam (didn't like SoundHound. accuracy is horrible)

                    Bixby isn't even all that bad. Everyone just hating on it and not even giving it a proper chance.

                      Clearly SAMSUNG didn't want us to use other voice assistants even though they're better

                        Yes offence but voice assistants are useless gimmick as long as user can use button as camera or music key its ok.
