Users can use the smart voice assistant from Samsung by pressing the Bixby button at the bottom left next to the volume control or by swiping from left to right. Alternatively, the “Voice Wakeup” function can also be selected in the “Settings” to enable the assistant to be activated with the “Hi Bixby” voice command. The voice assistant can also be used when you don’t feel like taking your smartphone out of your pocket.

Bixby can be used in a wide variety of ways: The smart assistant manages appointments, searches for information online or switches on your own favorite music when you call it. In addition, Bixby is constantly learning, e.g. B. notices frequently ordered dishes at the delivery service and suggests similar dishes on the basis of this. In the future, Samsung’s voice assistant will also be able to remotely control the manufacturer’s smart household appliances.

Navigate your smartphone settings using Bixby voice commands

Endless long click paths to carry out individual tasks are no longer necessary, because all Samsung smartphones (for example from the Galaxy range) should be gradually updated and soon be voice-controlled. The navigation via Bixby voice command then works as follows:

  • “Hi Bixby, show me the health home screen.”

  • “Hi Bixby, scroll down.”

  • “Hi Bixby, scroll up.”

  • “Hi Bixby, swipe right.”

  • “Hi Bixby, swipe left.”

  • “Hi Bixby, turn down the page.”

  • “Hi, Bixby, back.”

  • “Hi Bixby, activate the energy saving mode.”

In addition, Bixby can even place voice commands in a context, which means that the wake-up word “Hi Bixby” does not always have to be used when several consecutive voice commands are used.
