Missed Opportunities with Bixby

[Fan05]

OK, I'm starting to see some golden opportunities that Bixby seriously missed. It could've had better integration with connected devices, it could've gotten more integrations with Galaxy AI, it could've had better integrations with Modes and Routines, and it could've been a lot smarter with built-in AI capabilities. If Bixby ever gets a second chance on Galaxy phones, I would love to see it through.

Bixby does what it's supposed to do.  What more do you think is a missed opportunity.  All your "suggestions" are very vague.  In any case, if you have ideas either send feedback to the programmers or post in the new Members Hangout:  Use It. Share It.

I've never used it yet, maybe I should try it out?

[realaud]

I don't know, it's up to you.  I don't use it myself, as I have not found the need to use an assistant app (all I use Alexa for is turning my lights on/off and listening to music).  I don't like talking to an inanimate object anyway - don't even like to dictate my texts.

If you want a virtual assistant that's more simplistic, and Tasks focused, then it might be a good option. However, please keep in mind that Samsung removed its ability to show you a device's battery percentage. In summary, think of Gemini, but less smarts.

You need an assistant to show you a battery percentage?  It's right there on your status bar.  If you took the battery icon off the status bar, you can still see the battery percentage at any time by eyeballing it yourself using a home screed widget or through the battery settings.  What a waste of the use of an assistant.

I've been using gemini since I got rid of my iPhone and got me a Samsung galaxy s25 ultra..

Trust me, you'll notice huge differences between Bixby and Gemini.

[realaud]

Bixby is not meant to be Gemini and Gemini is not meant to replace Bixby.  Gemini is a Google product and it replaced the Google Assistant. They perform different functions.  Bixby is meant to control your phone's functions, this is why it's available only on Samsung devices, while Gemini is available on all Android devices.
