I installed and remapped the button to invoke the camera. Nice.

I don't like those remapping apps because it still has to launch Bixby first and then closes it and launches the app you choose. It just has a really glitchy feel to it. Personal preference I guess. I can't remember which one I tried though. What is the one you're using?

yeah, but it happens quickly. Still better than having to launch it by accident and then having to close it manually which is what I have been doing.

Yeah I just disabled it in Bixby itself so the button does nothing. I wish we could truly remap the button without using Bixby. I'd use it as a flashlight button.

BxACTIONS Allows you to completely remap your bixby button. single press, double press, long press, and doublepress and hold. also alows you to remap volume buttons too if you want. works on lockscreen too! No sign of BIXBY when pressed like it used to do, just follow setup instructions.

My concern with remapping the Bixby button is that due to its terrible location, I was constantly activating Bixby by accident, maybe 8-10 times per day before I deactivated it. I don't want to be accidentally opening up whatever app I remap the button to all the time.
