If Bixby keeps getting in your way and you’ve no interest in using Samsung’s smart assistant, here’s how you can hide it or get rid of it.
Bixby, Samsung’s digital assistant app on its Galaxy line of smartphones, has been around since 2017.

In an Android ecosystem that also includes the much more ubiquitous Google Assistant, it often feels unneeded.
Just take a look at some of our past Bixby-centric headlines here at SlashGear over the years, such as « The Bixby button is the bane of my mobile existence » in August 2017, « Galaxy Note 9 Bixby 2.0 is going to increase haters » in August 2018, and « Bixby Marketplace launched to convince people it’s still alive » in June 2019, « Samsung Galaxy S21 feature may baffle Bixby haters » in November 2020, and « Bixby feature update tries to prove it still matters » in December 2020.
