如今,很难区分一款顶级智能手机与另一款智能手机。这(Which)就是为什么像苹果和三星(Apple and Samsung)这样的公司如此努力地让他们最新最好的手机脱颖而出。有时它会带来非常酷的技术,例如折叠屏(folding screen),有时你会得到一个分裂的屏幕缺口(screen notch)。
其中一个独特的功能是在最近的三星 Galaxy S(Samsung Galaxy S)手机型号上增加了一个额外的硬件按钮。(hardware button)坐落在音量摇杆(volume rocker)下方,这个按钮的作用并不是很明显。如果你按下它,一个名为Bixby的数字助理会弹出并询问你是否需要任何东西。Bixby是三星试图与Siri、Alexa和Google Assistant等产品竞争的尝试。
无论(Regardless)您是否喜欢Bixby,按钮本身对许多用户来说都是一个问题。当您只是想调整音量时,很容易意外调用Bixby 。这(Which)就是为什么您会很高兴听到您可以完全禁用它的原因。
注册或登录
第一步是确保您已登录三星帐户(Samsung account)。如果您在第一次激活手机时没有创建三星帐户(Samsung account),您现在需要这样做。无论您必须登录还是创建三星帐户(Samsung account),以下是与Bixby相关的步骤。
- 首先,按下Bixby 按钮或从(Bixby button or swipe)主屏幕(Home screen)向右滑动。这将带您到Bixby 主页(Bixby Home)。

但是,如果大多数人按照电话激活(phone activation)时的提示进行操作,他们将已经登录。从这里开始,我们将假设您已登录。

How To Disable The Bixby Button On Samsung Galaxy Phones
These days it’s pretty hard to tell one top-tier smartphone from another. Which is why the likeѕ of Apple and Sаmsung push so hard to set thеir latest and greatest handsets apart from the pack. Sometimes it leads to really cool technolоgy such as a folding screen and sometimes уoυ get a divisive screen notch.
One such unique feature is the addition of an extra hardware button on recent models of Samsung Galaxy S phones. Nestled under the volume rocker, it’s not immediately apparent what this button is meant to do. If you press it, a digital assistant named Bixby will pop up and ask you if you need anything. Bixby is Samsung’s attempt to compete with the likes of Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
Regardless of whether you like Bixby or not, the button itself turns out to be a problem for many users. It’s far too easy to accidentally call up Bixby when you’re just trying to adjust the volume. Which is why you’ll be happy to hear that you can disable it completely.
Signing Up Or Signing In
The very first step is to make sure you’re logged into your Samsung account. If you didn’t create a Samsung account when you first activated your phone, you’ll need to do so now. Whether you have to sign into or create a Samsung account, here are the steps in relation to Bixby.
- First, press the Bixby button or swipe to the right from the Home screen. This will take you to Bixby Home.
- Tap next if prompted, choose a language if needed, and then tap sign in, or create a new account.
Most
people will however already be signed in if they followed the prompts
at phone activation. From here on we’ll assume that you are logged
in.
Bye-Bye Bixby!
There are two functions linked to the Bixby button. You can disable these independently as you please. The first one calls up Bixby Home and requires just a single press of the button. This is the function that can become an annoyance, calling up Bixby Home when it’s least convenient.
The second function happens when you press and hold the button in. This makes the Bixby assistant listen to what you have to say and is called Bixby Voice. It basically works like a push-to-talk button, but you’re speaking to a software agent.
It’s up to you whether you want to disable both the Bixby Home and Bixby Voice functions, so let’s walk through both.
Disabling Bixby
Home’s Button Shortcut
- Go to Bixby Home by either pressing the Bixby Button or swiping right on the home screen. Now tap the gear icon at the top of the Bixby Home screen. The Bixby Key setting will pop up.
- Tap the switch to disable the Bixby Home shortcut.
Now
clicking the Bixby button will do nothing, rejoice!
Disabling Bixby Voice
- First, go to Bixby Home by either pressing the Bixby Button or swiping right on the home screen.
- Tap the three dots at the top right of the screen.
Tap settings and under voice, tap the switch to disable the Bixby Voice button shortcut.
Now
a long-press of the button won’t summon Bixby either.
Peace At Last!
Now you can enjoy an uninterrupted phone experience without a well-meaning AI butler getting in the way.
If the vestigial button bothers you, you can always use a remapping app to give it a different function, but of course that just brings the problem of accidental presses back. Still, it’s your button and you get to choose what it does.
