Bixby is Samsung's virtual assistant, a kind of Google or Siri Assistant for Galaxy phones that also includes a home page, where we can see different widgets, news or tips. Although Bixby is a good way to manage our productivity with the terminal, the few functions in Spanish make it only a function that takes advantage of RAM and storage. Do you want to disable bixby on your Samsung Galaxy Note 9? Next, we show you the different ways.
The simplest solution to disable the Samsung assistant is as follows. It is important to note that this option only disables the side panel. Press and hold on the home screen until the configuration options appear. Swipe left and you will see the Bixby Home section. If you click on the arrow, this section will be deactivated and you will no longer see it on the home screen.
Bixby and its dedicated button
Now, Bixby Home has disappeared, but if we press the key we continue to see the virtual assistant. Unfortunately, there is no option in the system, but an application can give us a very practical solution. It's called bxActions. While it doesn't disable the button, it does change the function. For example , we can use it so that instead of launching bixby, it launches Google Assistant or another application.
To do this, download the free application from Google Play. Access the permissions that the app asks you to be able to function and click on the "Simple press" option. Now, choose the function you want. For example, go directly to the home screen, Google Assistant, turn up the volume, apply do not disturb mode, turn on the flashlight etc. There are some features that require a premium version. This is priced at 3 euros, but personally I think that with the basic functions you will have more than enough.
