Activating Bixby Voice

Bixby Voice is available on select models (A50, A51, A71, A52 5G, A53 5G, A54 5G).

  1. As the A series lacks a Bixby button, use the Power button to activate Bixby Voice. Here’s how:

    • On A51, A71, A52, A53, and A54: Press and hold the Power button until Bixby appears.

    • On A50: Swipe down to access Quick settings, swipe left, and tap Power key for Bixby.

  2. Follow the prompts to set up Bixby Voice. For easy access, add an App screen shortcut.

  3. To call Bixby, press and hold the Power or Side button. To turn off your phone, use the Quick settings panel: swipe down with two fingers and tap the Power icon next to Settings, choosing from Power off, Restart, etc.

For those who prefer not to use the Power key for Bixby, options include customizing the Side button, voice wake-up, using the Bixby Voice shortcut, or disabling the Power key for Bixby on the A50.
