If you find that Bixby isn’t really as helpful as you want, you may want to learn about how to enable and disable Bixby on Samsung Galaxy S22 series.
Although this feature is designed to be helpful, not many people find it attractive or appealing. For those who have never tried this feature before, they may want to know how to enable it.
But for those who find it annoying or even disturbing, they want to learn how to disable it. So, how do you manage this feature?
Understanding Bixby
Bixby is designed to compete against other voice command technologies, such as Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri. This virtual assistant can be found in many of the Galaxy devices, including the refrigerators and smart TV.
Bixby is designed to do a lot of things. So it’s not only handy to react to voice comments or answer questions. Bixby is even designed to access the camera as its ‘eyes’ to help you identify objects.
The idea of Bixby is to help you navigate your phone, delivering effective assistance all through the day. It even ‘learns’ your habits and adjusts itself to your personal requirements.
Enabling the Feature
The first thing people do after they know how to enable and disable Bixby on Samsung Galaxy S22 series is to activate it. So, if you do want to turn it on, you should do these:
- Press the Side key (or the Power button) and hold it so you can open Bixby.
- Go with ‘Next’
- Choose ‘English’ to change the language and then go with the language you want
- Sign into the Samsung account (only do this if you haven’t done it) and then go with ‘Next’
- Choose ‘Place or Remove a Checkmark’ if you want to have the shortcut on the Home Screen. It’s also possible when you want to perform a double press (of the Side key) to open Bixby

- Located the ‘Side Key’ and then go with it
- If you see the option ‘Press and Hold’ being active, switch it to ‘Power off Menu’
