Bixby is a user interface that helps you to use your device more conveniently. You can talk to Bixby or type text and Bixby will launch a function you request or show the information you want. It also learns your usage patterns and environments. The more it learns about you, the more precisely it will understand you. 

All you'll need to do to use Bixby is to create or sign into your Samsung Account on your Galaxy phone and stay connected to either a Wi-Fi or mobile network.

DOES BIXBY VOICE ACCESS OR COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT MY LOCATION?

 

When you ask a question or issue a request, Bixby Voice accesses location information obtained from your device if ‘Location’ is turned on in your device settings, and will use that location information as necessary to answer a question you ask or respond to a request you make (e.g. if you ask “How’s the weather today?”, Bixby Voice will use your location data to figure out the correct weather information to provide to you). However, Bixby Voice will not be able to access your location data if you have turned ‘Location’ off in your device settings.
