Is News Today an app? If so, you need to specify that. I've been reading up and it looks like to need to be specific.
So edit to say "open News Today app and read current news"

You're 100% correct if you're trying to use Bixby to do what Google Assistant is designed to do. However, if you try to use Google Assistant to do what Bixby is designed to do, Google Assistant will appear to be way behind also. I'm not a big fan of Bixby, but I have to give it credit for some of the cool stuff it can do. I never use it, but the few times I have, it was kind of fun to see what all it could do with the phone. And like others have said, it has gotten better it seems each time I use it.
Exactly. If I have a question I use google assistant. If I want to turn something on or off or get into a setting I use Bixby. Has been working nicely for my. Although the voice wake up for Bixby almost never works for me. I use the button.

I can't find anything with "news " in the name. "New" brings up a bunch of options.
Can you show me what you choose?

Re: Another Bixby question
Go into settings to Bixby Labs. There are other apps you can turn on if you havent already.
My state will start enforcing a very strict "don't touch your phone when you drive" law -- you can't even touch the thing while you're sitting at a red light. The main thing I want to do is "Launch Shazam" when I hear a song on my XM Radio, and Shazam is set up to start listening when I open the program. I presume I would need to "Close Shazam" so I could re-launch it again, but that's why I'm thinking about giving Bixby a try. I sure don't want to say "Bixby," though -- what a stupid name! I'll try to get it to start with some other name.

There's always that one guy who has to bring politics into everything.
It's a phone/tech/help forum. Take that crap to Twitter please.
People throw that word around and truly have no clue what it means. Laws meant to not have other drivers be killed cause you can't stop for 5 seconds looking at your phone has nothing to do with socialism.... Just in case you can't find the dictionary, I've helped you out

I havn't received an update since the 2cnd week of having the note 8 around Sept 16 or so. But I have still occasionally encountered this issue mostly when using a Bluetooth earpiece or headphones.

I think his point around socialism and states heavily regulating whether citizens can even "touch" their phone in the car or not (which is stupid) centers around the fact that in socialistic societies there's a overriding subordination of the people to the judiciary or government that shows a far lower respect for privacy and a more extensive control over citizens private life. It's a big brother knows best mentality - yeah right. He's not wrong when stating that about California and LOL when doing so.
Now back on topic, I actually love Bixby and us it to control a series of macros centered around actual functionality of our phones throughout my day. It's not even about safety in a car as touch my phone in a car is no less safe than touching the GPS or Stereo or variety of in-dash systems my vehicle already has. It's about convenience.

Bixby is garbage, I've tried a hundred times to register my voice for voice wake-up and it says it can't hear me. Never had a problem with Siri.
