How To How to disable Bixby

[Staff]

By default when you press and hold the side button on your Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 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 S20 Plus open any app you'd like.

(This works for any of the new generation of Galaxy phones)
