How to disable Bixby Home on Samsung Galaxy smartphones
Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant on its Galaxy smartphones, has its own dedicated button so it can be called upon whenever you want — even accidentally. But there’s also Bixby Home, which is the screen to the left of the home screen that offers up information from other apps, your calendar, and more. Bixby Home tries to be contextually relevant, but we’ve hardly found a good use for it. It’s just an extra area to accidentally swipe to on the home screen. If you find yourself not really using it, don’t worry, there’s a way to disable it completely. We’ve already shown how to remap the Bixby key — to even launch Google Assistant — so here’s how to disable Bixby Home.

How to re-program the Bixby button on a Samsung Galaxy S8, S9, S10, Note 8, or Note 9
Earlier this week, Samsung released an update to the Bixby app for its Galaxy S8, S9, S10, Note 8, and Note 9 smartphones that finally addresses something we’ve been asking for since Bixby’s debut: the ability to natively reprogram the hardware button on the side of a Samsung phone to do something other than just launch Bixby. That’s right, you can now use the Bixby button to launch any number of apps, such as the camera, Twitter, Gmail, Google Maps, or whatever you want. But unfortunately, Samsung is blocking the ability to use it for the Google Assistant or other virtual assistants, like Microsoft’s Cortana or Amazon’s Alexa. For that, you’ll still need to rely on a third party app. Here’s how to remap the Bixby button to something more useful: Make sure your Bixby Voice app is up-to-date. You can check within the settings section of the app itself or through Samsung’s Galaxy Apps store. You’ll need to be on version 2.1.04.18 or … [Read more...] about How to re-program the Bixby button on a Samsung Galaxy S8, S9, S10, Note 8, or Note 9

The Samsung Galaxy S10’s Bixby button can be remapped, here’s how to do it
Samsung introduced its own virtual assistant alongside the Galaxy S8 and went all-in with the effort to promote its use over Google Assistant by building a dedicated button used to trigger Bixby. The button survived through to the S9, and now to the S10, but with one subtle difference. The buttons only purpose was to launch Bixby but since a majority of people preferred to use Google Assistant, a number of apps started appearing in the Play Store that allowed the function of the button to be re-mapped. The loophole that the apps used to intercept and remap the function of the Bixby button was closed by Samsung, much to the disappointment of the Android community, but showed the company really wanted people to use Bixby. With the Galaxy S10, it seems Samsung has relaxed the restriction and now allows the Bixby button on the S10 to be remapped natively without the use of any 3rd-party apps.
