The Samsung physical button dedicated to your assistant Bixby has recently been updated by the company so that you can use it to replace Bixby with Google Assistant or Alexa, according to your preferences. The process to execute this change and to behave like this permanently is very fast and simple, and we tell you how to do it next.
Replace Bixby with Google Assistant or Alexa
Finally, after several years of waiting, Bixby is available in Spanish. However, there are many users who have already become accustomed to using Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant. Let’s see then how to replace Bixby with Google Assistant or with Alexa:
- First of all, make sure you have the latest update installed. Go to the Samsung Galaxy Store and there you can check it.
- Download and install the Bixby Button Assistant remapper app from Android File Host.
- Press the Bixby button on your Galaxy (once or twice, as you have configured it) to open Bixby.
- Press the symbol of the three points located at the top.
- Press on A jousts.
- Navigate to the bottom and press Bixby Key.
- Choose how to open an application in addition to Bixby- one press or two presses.
- Click on Open application in the menu that will appear on the screen
- Click on Settings identified with the symbol of a cogwheel and select Bixby Button Assistant remapper (the application that you installed at the beginning).
- Once you press the Bixby button (one or two keystrokes as you have previously chosen), this application will launch a simple question- what assistant do you want to use by default? At that time you can choose Google Assistant (or also Alexa if you have installed this Amazon assistant).
Do not forget to click on Always and in this way the Bixby button will always behave in the same way, launching Google Assistant or Alexa.
