Many users the new Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 They are crying out for the option to assign other functions to the physical button for Bixby and this does not seem to please the South Korean at the moment. In our humble opinion, the best thing would be to pay attention to users in this regard and we believe that assigning other functions to the physical button added in the S8 is the best option that Samsung has on the table.
But the company is not for the work and for now what if it allows us now is to completely disable the functions of this Bixby button. This is possible after the last update launched by the brand, so simply if you are one of those who do not want or do not use this button at all, update and you can completely eliminate its function.
It seems that in the end Samsung is coming to its senses and the button for the Bixby assistant remains a source of contention between users and the company. After a previous update the button became a false Home button that, when pressed, turned on the device screen, but now it can be completely disabled.
We repeat in this case that the best thing would be to leave some basic functions so that the user who wants to can use the button or assign a function, but for now Samsung's refusal collides with all requests. And it is that having the physical button as such in the device it is logical that you give it some function, something that thousands of users who do not use the Bixby voice assistant claim and who would like to give the button other functions.
What is clear is that having a physical button to perform an assistant function has not worked as the South Koreans wanted, now They will have to rectify or find another method to activate the assistant in the next flagship model of the brand, since the Note do have this physical button.
