Run a 3rd party launcher (I like Nova) to get the icon gone and set the Bixby key to do something useful with a single press.
BleachItsWhatsForDinner
Love my Samsung, but seriously... Does anyone ever use Bixby?
fakeplasticmari
Please don’t delete your dick from home screen.

The one celebrity I want to see catch something from all this hypocrisy, is just not doing it.
UnbelievableButter
I left Samsung for good after the 7s. I've been running a Pixel 2XL and absolutely love not having bloatware.

Don't disrespect Google/Android like that

Google TalkBack on the pixel is the same way... And it used to take over my entire pixel phone. Then I found the right some l settings

Siri, Cortana, Bixby, Alexa....none of that shit should have ever been invented!

OK, Google

Too bad too because the original ambitions for it were astonishing. You were supposed to be able to point your camera at someone 1/

And say "Bixby where can I get that dress" and it would find it for you. Then a lot of its features were delayed to be added in a later 2/

Update and as far as I know still doesn't do much. 3/3

THAT BITCH CAROL BASKIN's
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
Also I've never heard of it
jaydawgx7
It's because it's it's Samsung's AI, not Android. It's as awesome as Cortana
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
Ah so a new version of paper clip.
jaydawgx7
Hey now, clippy was awesome. :rip:
Armouredfalcon
As someone who was planning on buying an S20 after the lockdown ended, this is making me seriously reconsider my options
jquverly123
You can disable it in the settings, and the s20 doesn't have a dedicated button for it thank god.
FlexGunship
Wtf is a bixby? I have a Pixel 3. No idea what a bixby is.
Belgiddybleh
Love my Pixel!
DontVoteForStupid
It's samsung "assistant" and is generally regarded as trash just like their pay service and their automated home service.
f00g3n
FUCKING BIXBY PIECE OF SHIT GOD DAMN!!!
Fyrebaugh
Heck the S10+ has an external button just for Bixby and I've tried remapping that to another program but I can't turn the button off!
InfocalypseRising
Man threw himself on his sword for this joke.
RipVanStinkhole
Sounds like he wasn't using it anyway
AnonymousNPC10
I liked the word translation live with camera, used it in Japan, have tried to delete it multiple times because I haven't used it since.
inchoroi
Fuck that stupid program.
minkfarm
You can, if you are not retarded, not able to Google for an how to
DoubleOhRed
I've had my phone for close to 2 years. Never set up Bixby, never will! Even has a stupid Bixby button on the side. Stupid thing
HighlandPotatoe
Samsung pay... I can't get rid of it. Its worse than bixby for me
fadedcamo
The swipe from the bottom of the screen gimick? You go into Samsung pay and turn favorite cards off..
nest2718
Thanks, that was so annoying!

Who actually uses these digital assistants? Only time I've seen people use Siri is to show a funny joke or response she has.
Dyslexicbirch
I deactivated it within 30 minutes of getting my phone
werewolffbarmitzvah
whatever i’m using for work has Cortana and i’ve never hated AI more. i’m trying to work, shut up cortana.
Armouredfalcon
when I first installed win 10 when it was released, I made sure cortana was completely disabled and never turned it on ever. bliss
werewolffbarmitzvah
i have to have admin rights to disable her. i wonder if they’re secretly recording me
CrazyCatLad
Yeah fuck the dedicated Bixby button on my Samsung. Fuck it to Neverfuckingcomingbacktown
jquverly123
You can re-map it to do whatever you want
PballQhead
You can reassign it to open any app you want, mine opens Google lol
CrazyCatLad
Do you need to download a patch or anything?
CrazyCatLad
Last I looked there wasn't an option unless they updated something
PballQhead
No, it's a standard feature of the system. Settings -> Advanced Features -> Bixby key
CrazyCatLad
Ah okay, first I gotta update Bixby and then sign in it seems. What a PITA
chocolateandmilkwin
Hm need a Bixby account to not use Bixby, not gonna happen.
Hatter65
Fun fact. You can reassign that button. Mine opens spotify.
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
Yup. Mine turns on the flashlight.
Randamnthoughts2
I could kiss you! Bixby kept fucking interrupting my Spotify
passifloraV
thank you for your wisdom and intelligence, now mine does the same!
hydrophobicOtter
Was this a recent change? Last I looked you couldn't reassign the Bixby button, but I haven't followed up on that in a while.
Hatter65
Idk how old it was. I've had it for about a week now. Possibly with the newest update
Diyamin
ATTENTION there is also a super useful app called bxActions that let's you completely disable it, or remap it to many different things.
Nerfology
Bless you for this. I just did the same!
justanotherdoug
Mine opens Pokemon go.
LagerthaL16
Couldn't get it to change apps when I pressed the button but now I have to double press it so that's better at least.
db3005
Under where it says double press it should say "use single press". From there you should be able to select an app or command to bind
zigbigidorlu
"Do Nothing" app
JohnnyWindchimes
Mine opens Google pay
jcow1995
When I had my Note, I had it remapped to an actual useful digital assistant, Google.
kemet44
Teach me
seamusmcfly
There's an app you can download that takes over the button entirely.
PballQhead
On my S10 it's Settings -> Advanced Features -> Bixby key
ShaunDreclin
bxActions
killmepleasefortheloveofgod
Settings>advanced features>bixby key. Set double or single press to open bixby, set the other to app of your choice.
Quylein
Yeah this would be great if I didn't have to sign in to do any of that.
MyBubbles
I never set it up. But it still opens it if I tap it. But it doesnt let me set as something else unless I set Bixby up first:/
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster

voluptuousdebaucheries
But you have to sign up for shitty Bixby to access this
thingssomeonesays
Yep. Not happening.
Ellimem
Sign up for? It’s literally installed on the phone, you don’t have to sign up for anything.
voluptuousdebaucheries
You would think...
madpoopz
Bixby requires a sign in to work and you can't switch the settings without signing in.
gifs4all
Ask Bixby how to delete it.
jupitermonkey
is this the part of the metaphor? will my dick really answer that?
gifs4all
Don’t be silly. *snorts haughtily* Of course your dick won’t answer. I meant you should ask Bixby how to delete your dick. Duh.
justfillingthespace
Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in phone.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Step 1: sign up for a Samsung Spyware account. Step 2: "disable" Spyware.

ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Android uses google assist. Samsung phones running their modded android platform use Bixby.
jquverly123
Bixby isn't "android's", its exclusively samsungs.
lightningloser
Bixby is excluidores garbag - translated by Bixby
Jkund17
Thank you. Samsung keeps producing bloat ware no body asked for.
ItsMorphinTimeIdiot
Is there a way to delete the nuance of bixby?
Kazooski
Kinda, there's an app for it then you disable as much as you can and tweak some stuff
ItsMorphinTimeIdiot
Awesome, I'll look it up. Thank you
Kazooski
Bx something or other on Google play store. Then disable every setting in the app manager, display bxthingy on top and all. You'll get it.
Kazooski
So there's like 4 or 5 Bixby apps, you can't "fully" remove it but you can sure tell it to F#ck off.
temp12543
Go to your settings. Use the search bar. Search bixby. You should be able to disable or set to double tap to open.
Subutia
Most of Samsung's apps you can't delete. They just sit around and get fat from forced updates.
HeadJamistan
Get the app "Package disabler pro". Nuke it once and for all.
Drakenborn
Bixby is also hot fucking garbage so it's not like other phones need envy it.
hydrophobicOtter
Bixby is most of what's keeping me from going to Samsung from the Pixel line.
Anonawesome
Why would you want to?? I went from Samsung to Pixel, and it's SO much better. No bullshit bloatware and shit. Also best cameras.
coffeysays
An excellent and valid point.
newimprovedfloridaman
Bx actions app. Reassigns the button
PriestofThor
I use mine for the flashlight.
Themark5
I miss when Androids were an option, now I walk into the carrier store and they just ask if you want Samsung or Apple.
Jkund17
Just ask for a Pixel!
DenitoOoO
I prefer motorola. No bixby. Clean interface.
flatearthvaxer
Same here. I have a G7 Power. Love the long battery life!
dnebdal
Not too familiar with US carriers, but why can't you go to newegg, buy any random unlocked android phone, and move your SIM over?
acme64
you can
attackwithhugs
That's how I got my S8, and bought a BYOD kit from Straigjt Talk.
DontVoteForStupid
You can. It's just too complicated for most. Plus they want their phones paid in installments with their phone plans.
AncientSeraph
Androids are an option. Your problem is walking into a store for tech.
AmbientSun
Most stores in my area have an Apple section, Samsung section and then a miscellaneous section. RAZER, OnePlus and so on.
atticusjacksonva
I've had a oneplus for 2 years and don't have this bloatware problem. I love my 7+
AmbientSun
OnePlus 7Pro here. Upgraded from the RAZER Phone 1. I prefer these brands over "mainstream" brands. These offer more.
CantTakeMySky
I use pure android on the pixel4 because the Google phone plan is best for me.
DontVoteForStupid
Fi?
CantTakeMySky
yes
PballQhead
They're really only the two non-Chinese top-tier hardware makers left. LG/Moto/Google make fine gear but it's not flagship level anymore.
2sheepstothewind
Love my LG v20 40 and even my 60 even if she's a heavy as hell phone
dnebdal
On the other hand, the nice-but-not-flagship category has gotten good enough for most people now.
PballQhead
Oh, totally. I got a decent deal on my S10, otherwise I'd probably have gotten something mid-range.
Athanar
Same, $300 off. I was going to get the Motorola G6 otherwise, unlocked.
dnebdal
I feel like the S10e is Samsung trying to have it both ways - on sale it's basically a nice high-midrange phone.
acme64
only moto doesn't make flagships anymore. dont spread bs
PballQhead
The G8 and Pixel 4 are flagships for LG/Google, but not quite the full-bore battleships from Samsung and Apple. Which is fine.
acme64
wtf are you talking about? the pixel 4 is a snapdragon 855, 6gb ram and hd screen. G8 and galaxy s10 are similarly specced.
BlastFX
Fuck carrier stores then? I have a Nokia 7 Plus. Cheap, plenty fast, no notch, headphone jack and guaranteed updates until at least 2021.
ThePerks2010
No notch? What does that mean?
BlastFX
There isn't a piece of the screen missing at the top.
ThePerks2010
Thank you :)
dnebdal
I do rather like mine. Very no-nonsense, and just works. (Only oddity is the screen comes on randomly at night; I just charge it face down.)
Ellimem
I have a hole punch screen and I quit noticing it literally the first day I got it. The notch is probably also fine.
BlastFX
It's not that I couldn't learn to live with it, but in my opinion it's an unnecessary compromise in a quest to achieve something 1/2
BlastFX
(bezel-less screen) that most consumers don't actually care about (same as making phones so thin they bend) and I refuse to support 2/3
jquverly123
Dont use carriers, while Samsung does indeed make good phones, there are always better alternatives like one plus for example.
Himser
Meh, samsung is dead to me since they started advertising in my notifications..... fuck that.
jquverly123
Interesting, ive never seen any ads on my Samsung after the many years ive owned them. Maybe it was an app you had that you allowed noti's?
Himser
It was samsung advertising their samsung pay crap.
Ellimem
Eh. Better is subjective. Unfortunately, they each have their strong points and refuse to address their weak points.
Ulthirm
Which frustrates me because I need to buy a new phone soon. Mine broke ages ago and I've been borrowing mine for a year now.
jquverly123
I mean, most phone companies including Samsung and apple do that. Its just something you gotta deal with. I don't care what phone someone
jquverly123
Buys they all do the same shit anyways
ThePerks2010
That's saved me a Google, I'm on Android and never heard of it
DonaldFuck
I'm on Samsung and never heard of it.
JustAGuyWithEpilepsy
It's the Samsung exclusive version of the Google assistant
ThePerks2010
Oh the thing that occasionally activates and then I spend ten minutes figuring out how to shut it up?
Alrathra
I uninstalled everything for it. It gets to the "update Bixby" message faster than loading the dang annoying thing.
Alrathra
My android/phone ver. requires me to create an account in order to disable it.
helenfrankannekeller
Just sayin Siri never gives me any trouble
JustAGuyWithEpilepsy
And Google assistant never gives me any
