Show us your Bixby Quick commands!

Thank you for all these ideas.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get Bixby to pick a navigation location inside of Waze? Or will it just open the app and then you have to select destination manually.

Not sure as I don't use waze but it will on Google maps just as google assistant does.

I've found you have to play around with how you speak to Bixby. Eventually you'll get it to do what you want, and when you do, add it to the quick command and use the history to add the series of commands in the order you want.

Any success while in the car?

I'm assuming that all these quick commands are spoken after the usual, "Hey Bixby..." correct? So far I have not used Bixby. Tried it early on and it didn't seem to do anything well. And then when I found out it disabled the camera function of taking photos verbally I ditched it altogether. If an update fixes that conflict I might give it a go again but I tend to not enjoy talking to the phone. I'm almost always around others and it just seems weird.

You can get Bixby to take a photo. Just say: Hi Bixby, take a picture.

Have been able to get that to work.

Bixby is ticking me off. I have the good night bixby turn down volume and good morning bixby turn up volume and she says she does but doesn't. Grrr. Lol

Maybe you have to give Bixby a specific level, or tell it to mute or unmute.

When I say "Goodnight Bixby" I got her to say "Goodnight Dave" to me. that's it though. I tried after the command to say goodnight Bixby would close the screen but so far no luck. I do like that she says good night though....lol

Thanks for all your help here. Kind of struggle with this. Big help!

 

[Morty2264]

Hmm, that seems intuitive. Perhaps I've misjudged Bixby.

Thank you for sharing your commands. I am starting to dig Bixby. I love how I can set these quick commands to do multiple things. I had no idea I could tell Bixby what source app to use, too. I've got Bixby opening my iHeart Radio for music and my gym app for my workouts. Now I'm going to have some fun and set up my good morning routine.

What is the secret to get Bixby to say a particular phrase, i.e., "Goodnight Dave"?

Go to Bixby menu as in these screen shots

Then go into custom

It let's you put whatever you want Bixby to say when you ask it a question. When I ask Bixby who is the most beautiful woman in the world, it says my wife's name

Great party trick

Thanks, Gray.

Another question about custom chat, if I may. When Bixby replies with my custom answer, it goes to the Bixby screen where you can hit the "Great" or "Teach Me" buttons or edit the custom chat. Is there a way to get it to simply reply to me and do nothing rather than going to that screen?

I'm not sure about that but I think that it is just a temporary notification until you've used the command a few times. I've noticed on most on the commands I've used frequently it no longer gives that notification.

A few of my Bixby quick commands, it's really convenient & time saver.

It's opened every app that I've asked it to open. Just practice talking to Bixby, don't worry about the preset commands. Just talk to it and if your not getting the desired results, ask the question or task differently. Bixby is extremely literal so you have to talk your request through like your writing a direction in a manual.


For example, if I wanted to add something I ate to Samsung health to monitor my food intake, I can't just say hi Bixby, add spaghetti to my dinner. Instead I say hi Bixby, open Samsung health, go to dinner, add spaghetti.

I can't get Bixby to open Waze. I would love to use this app instead of Google maps which Bixby automatically uses if asked for directions to any location.

Have you said "open waze and show directions to - - - -"?
