How to disable the Bixby button on a Samsung phone or tablet
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to disable the Bixby button on a Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet.
Bixby is a virtual assistant developed by Samsung, comparable to Google Assistant and Siri. You can interact with it through voice, text, or taps. Its deep integration with Samsung Galaxy devices enables Bixby to perform many of the tasks you typically handle on your device.
One thing I dislike is that Samsung assigned Bixby to what used to be the power button on the side of their mobile phones. As a result, double-pressing or holding the side (power) button now brings up Bixby instead of the power menu. Fortunately, you can change this.
