Question for other Samsung phone users

[Reverend Conehead]

Do any of you guys actually use that Bixby app that Samsung seems so proud of? I have a Note 9 and never use Bixby, mainly because I just don't get the point. I have all my apps that do what I want them to, but Samsung seems to think that Bixby is the glue that holds Samsung phones together. I don't get it.

What's so special about this Bixby thing?

No, never use it. My wife mistakenly activated it on her phone - deeply regretted it and had to reset the phone. Seems to interfer with all other apps and mess up internet browsing.

It was their failed attempt to compete with Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri.

They have tried to expand it and integrate it into other devices, but no one wants it as everyone prefers one or more of the main three I listed.

I would not be surprised to see it renamed or removed at some point and replaced with Google Assistant.

I liked Bill Bixby, but I've only vaguely even heard of this Bixby. I guess they weren't pushing it too hard with my phone...or I've gotten so good at deleting stuff I didn't ask for, that I never even noticed it.
