Verizon Galaxy S8 Bixby always listening

[NancyZ Zeltvay]

This is not a request for help but something amusing I found with Bixby. I had my phone with me while using my computer and also had the TV running. All of a sudden Bixby heard a female voice on TV and immediately started looking up answers to her question. So far this has occurred twice. Once when using my computer and another time while watching TV in the living room. I guess Bixby is always listening

It happens with my Alexa and Google home also.

You can turn that off in the settings so it'll only activate when you press and hold the Bixby button.

OP noted he wasn't looking for help, just sharing an amusing story.
