Latest Bixby update enhances touchless experience for Samsung Galaxy users

Instead of taking up the entire screen, Bixby Voice now takes up only the lower third of the screen, allowing users to issue commands without leaving the current app. Additionally, the conversation indicator has also been changed from the Bixby icon to a bar that expands as the user speaks or gives a command.

Samsung is rolling out new features to its intelligent virtual assistant 'Bixby' to improve the user experience and make its features more accessible. With the new update, users can enjoy touch-less control of their Galaxy devices more easily than ever.

Starting with the Bixby design language, it is now more in line with the user experience found in Samsung One UI. The Bixby Voice app now changes its background depending on the phone's display mode while the horizontal and vertical scrolling puts a variety of new commands within reach. Other changes include performance and readability improvements.
