How to disable Bixby

[Staff]

By default when you press and hold the side button on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip it will launch Bixby. You'll probably want to change the Bixby button to launch something else or disable Bixby completely. Don't worry- you can:

• Settings > Advanced Features > Side Key
• Find the "Press and Hold" area
• Select "Power Off Menu" instead of "Wake Bixby (default)"

When you press and hold the side button you'll now be given power off and restart options for your Galaxy Z Flip. You cannot force the phone to launch an app by pressing and holding, but if you quickly press the side button twice you can have the Galaxy Z Flip open any app you'd like.
