Activating Bixby by Voice

To activate Bixby by voice, you need to press and hold the Bixby button located on the side of your device. Alternatively, you can tap the Bixby Voice icon from the Bixby home screen. Once the Bixby Voice popup appears, review the prompt and tap to activate it. From the Bixby Voice screen, you can review or search available commands and then tap the Bixby icon to begin listening. It’s important to note that Bixby is designed to recognize natural language and respond accordingly, so you can speak to it in a conversational tone. If you encounter any issues, refer to the device’s user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

The Location of the Bixby Button

The Bixby button can be found on the left-hand side of your device, typically located underneath the volume buttons. It may be referred to as the “Bixby key” and is used to activate Bixby by pressing it once. This button is distinct from other buttons on your device and is specifically designed for easy access to Bixby’s features. If you have trouble locating the Bixby button, consult your device’s manual or online resources for a visual guide.

Activating Bixby on Samsung Devices

To get Bixby on your Samsung device, you need to make sure that your device is compatible with Bixby. Bixby is a virtual assistant developed by Samsung that uses natural language processing to interact with users.

If your device is compatible with Bixby, you can activate it by pressing the dedicated Bixby button located below the volume buttons on your Samsung device. However, if you have disabled the Bixby button or if your device does not have a dedicated Bixby button, you can activate Bixby by using the voice command “Hi Bixby” or by swiping right on the home screen to access Bixby Home.

To configure the Bixby button, you can go to the Settings app on your Samsung device, scroll down and tap “Advanced features,” and then tap “Bixby key.” From there, you can choose which option you want to use to start Bixby – a single press or a double press.

It is important to note that Bixby may not be available in all regions or languages, and may require an internet connection to function properly.

To access Bixby settings on your Samsung device, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device.

3. Find and tap on “Bixby Voice”.
4. This will open the Bixby Voice settings page, where you can customize and configure various options related to Bixby, such as voice wake-up, language, and permissions.

Additionally, you can also access some Bixby settings from the “Advanced Features” section in the Settings app, where you can enable or disable Bixby Routines, customize the Side Key (which can be used to launch Bixby), and more.

Conclusion

Turning on Bixby on your Samsung device is a simple process that can be done in a few different ways. Whether you prefer to use the Bixby Voice button on the side of your device, the Bixby Voice icon on the Bixby home screen or the Bixby key located below the volume buttons, there are multiple options to choose from.
