A lot of Bixby updates this morning!

Just kidding -- restarting my device then pressing the Bixby button initiated the setup for Bixby voice. Sweet!

Bixby voice is active on mine. I never received an email.

Bixby needs more cards! No Gmail?? Messaging?? Google Calendar??

Yup. Downloading now. I think everybody is getting them. Samsung said it would send an email to those of us who signed up and selected to be part of the Bixby preview.

Mine does absolutely nothing. I tried to go through the setup but holding the button doesnt do anything. Ive turned voice off and on and rebooted the phone but no voice recognition. Am I missing something?

Edit:I had to delete all the data for all the bixby apps then reboot to get it working. Definitely needs more commonly used cards and such. Not sure Id use it over google assistant though.

Or just activate the Hi Bixby command, it works even with the screen off so it's always listening. I prefer to press the button as I don't like to activate any AI with the "Hi ..." Command.

I still have to unlock my device for bixby to do anything, y'all seeing that too? She wake up but need to draw my pattern or finger print for her to be allowed to do anything.

Yeah I noticed that too, I don't know if that will change or not, you know, because of the security lock and all but I think they can find a way around it and keep it safe. I didn't notice it because like I said before, I prefer to use the button and haven't tried it fully until now.
