The Bixby button sucked because for so long you couldn't remap it to do anything else. And even when they finally relented at the end, they only allowed it to have the functions of press and hold or double tap to activate extra features, but single tap was always still reserved for Bixby.
Having a dedicated mute button is good when your default volume controls are for media volume. Not that it makes a difference for me because my phone is forever on vibrate, but I get the utility.
You could always just download an app to remap it with far more functionality. Used to love that feature.
I could?! The best I could find back then was to disable it.
Yeah, it was called BxActions iirc
I'm still using that on my s10+. Having the flashlight mapped and Bixby completely disabled is all I care about, and it works perfect. And I'm pretty sure you get full remap control if you spend the few bucks for it, but I haven't needed to.
I had mine remapped as far back as the Note 4.
Yes, but you had to set up Bixby first which I refused to do, so just cut off the part of my phone case that pushed the button so I'd stop accidentally pressing it.
No? I had Bixby removed from the phone entirely.
I have a Note 8, they've now had it for a while where you can single tap to open an app or run a command. But if you choose to do that, double press opens Bixby. So sadly you get Bixby no matter what.
