Bixby Is Still Around, and Samsung Just Updated It Ahead of Galaxy S26 Launch

From PC Mag: Ahead of its Galaxy S26 Unpacked event, Samsung has announced an upgraded version of Bixby AI voice assistant. Currently available in beta via One UI 8.5, Bixby can now understand natural language, adjust device settings, and fetch answers directly from the web.

Samsung’s Friday press release mirrors the one it reportedly pulled after posting in January. The new Bixby can understand problems people are facing on their devices and suggest appropriate changes. Users don’t need to mention specific terms or menus to get their job done; they just need to describe their problem in simple language.

For example, ask Bixby, “Why is my phone screen always on when it’s inside my pocket?” and the assistant will present them with an option to enable Accidental Touch Protection.
