Note

The available commands may differ depending on the version of Bixby.

Interact with your voice

Your friend wants to see photos from your recent vacation, but you're way too tired to find them all. No worries, just let Bixby take care of it.

Once Bixby is set up, you can wake it by pressing and holding the Bixby button or Side button. While Bixby is listening, give a command, such as “Send pictures from Dubai to John." If needed, Bixby will ask you for more information, so it can complete the command.

Plus, Bixby can do so much more. Check out Bixby’s other commands and create your own commands. You can also enable voice-wake up options.
