Samsung has launched its flagship of the year with all the latest hardware and software. The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus come with the top of the line hardware and software. One of the most significant features or upgrade which Samsung provided is the remapping of the Bixby button. This was the most needed feature since the origin of the Bixby button.
Here we are going to show you how you can remap the Bixby button on your Samsung Galaxy devices. You do not need any third party app or rooting your phone for this. There is no way yet to completely turn off the Bixby Key, you can either choose single tap or double tap to launch your shortcut, but the alternative will be automatically set to launch Bixby home.
Samsung rolled out this feature as an update to all the smartphones which did not release with One UI. So, before you proceed to the steps, you need to upload your Galaxy smartphone to the latest version as you can see below.
Steps to Remap Bixby button on Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
- Go to Settings > Advanced Options > Bixby Key.
