More recently with the launch of the Galaxy S21 family, Samsung appeared to be moving closer to Google, offering Google Discover on the home screen for example, suggesting that it might be winding down some of its services in the future.

Since launch we've seen the removal of Bixby buttons, the non-appearance of the expected Galaxy Home Bixby speaker and some functions removed from Bixby - like the Uber support. There is the sense that Bixby is maintained rather than developed by Samsung. Samsung said it 'learns, evolves, and adapts' to you.īixby appears in a number of different areas, originally getting its own Bixby button on some Samsung Galaxy phones, although this has now been dropped, as it was an unpopular option with users.

Bixby can learn individual voices, so it will personalise answers depending on who asks. You can use it to text, get tailored information about the weather, reminders of meetings, news articles, and so on, learn more about what it sees with the camera (like where to buy a couch in the camera view), and complete actions (such as call your Mum for you). It made its debut on the Samsung Galaxy S8 in 2017 and is designed to work across a range of Samsung products, incorporated in numerous other devices like Samsung's Family Hub fridges and TVs.
