Voice assistants are taking over our devices. The Samsung Galaxy S10 (or Note 9, or S9…) comes equipped with a button on the side for activating Samsung’s own Bixby and it also comes fully-loaded with Google Assistant, a staple of Android devices.
Meanwhile, Alexa is looking for a route into phones, having caused quite a stir in smart homes, thanks to the wide adoption of the Amazon Echo.
There’s a clever way you can set Alexa as the default assistant on recent Samsung Galaxy devices.
Here’s how to do it. Make sure you’ve installed the Amazon Alexa app and signed in on your Galaxy phone. Open the Settings menu and select Advanced Features on the Note 9. If you have the latest One UI software on the S10, it’s under Apps > Default appsYou’ll see an option called Device assistance app, select this.
