Bloody Bixby...

[quackhandle]

Previous phone playing up so I purchase Galaxy S8. It's a decent phone, apart from the fact it has a "Bixby" button. Bixby is Samsung's go at Google Assistant and is no where as good as that. And you can't make the button do anything, just disable it.

I know phones come with their own bloatware but to actually add a physical button to it...

Agree, its worse than useless.

You can remap it to do something marginally more useful. Or there's a few third party apps which can turn it into something more useful still.
