I personally didn’t like Bixby much, but I do miss its quick access feature. Alternatives are good, but nothing beats the integration at times.
If you decide to uninstall, remember that voice automation doesn’t end with Bixby. Apps like Tasker can help you automate tasks too!
Interesting point! Are those automation apps user-friendly?
Honestly, they have a learning curve, but once you’ve got the hang of them, they can be very powerful!
I am currently uninstalling Bixby. I want to experiment with the alternatives before settling down. Do any of you have setup tips?
Don’t forget to check out settings and customizations; you can tailor them to your needs, which is super helpful.
Customization sounds great! I’m also wondering if there’s a way to quickly switch back to Bixby if needed?
Yes, just reinstall from the Galaxy Store! It’s pretty straightforward, and then you can get back to using it.

Good to know! If I find myself missing Bixby, I won’t worry too much about reinstalling.

But isn’t reinstalling a hassle? I’m a bit skeptical about having to deal with setups again if I switch back.
I uninstalled Bixby last week and honestly, I feel like my phone runs smoother! No more unnecessary prompts. However, I do miss some of the voice commands I used occasionally.

That’s interesting, slewis! I’ve considered uninstalling it too but was worried about losing features. Did you have to adjust any settings afterward?
I uninstalled Bixby a few months back. The pros were less battery drain and a cleaner interface. However, I did struggle with finding settings that used to be accessible through Bixby. It’s a trade-off!
Same here, donnathomas! I felt relieved to get rid of extra notifications. But like you said, navigating without Bixby is a bit tricky. I wish Samsung would make it easier to find those functions!

I haven’t uninstalled Bixby, but managing its settings has helped a lot! I turned off the wake-up command and most notifications, and it feels way less intrusive now.
That’s a great point! Maybe I should just customize it instead of uninstalling?
Honestly, I found Bixby quite useful for setting reminders, but besides that, it just felt like it was wasting space. I did uninstall it and have no regrets!
I feel you, kmcgee! While I didn’t uninstall, I rarely use Bixby. I’m questioning if it’s worth having it on my phone at all. Do you think I should go ahead?

I uninstalled Bixby, and it’s like I finally found freedom! I think the only thing lost was the ‘cool factor’ of having a digital assistant.
That’s hilarious! 
I can relate to the feeling of liberation! But sometimes I think I could have used those AI features. What do you think?
