What is Bixby Home page in Galaxy S8 and S8+ home screen?

Prior to Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung added Flipboard briefing to the leftmost panel of home screen.

This is one of the least popular features. It seems nobody except Samsung likes this annoying feature.  Luckily, you can disable flipboard briefing in all previous Galaxy phones.

Now, in Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung replaced the Briefing page with Bixby Home page as shown below.

Samsung Bixby is actually a good new feature in Galaxy S8 and S8+ and it works mainly locally on the phone.

But Samsung wants to stuff you with Bixby everywhere in Galaxy S8 and S8+.

Bixby Home (Hello Bixby) is Bixby’s claimed territory in Galaxy S8 home screen.

The Bixby Home page is very similar to Google Now page comes with Google Now launcher or Pixel launcher. You can personalize Bixby Home page to show your preferred apps, news and reminders.

It sounds great.

But what disturbs many owners is that the Bixby Home page occupy a dedicated panel in Galaxy S8 home screen.

    Not sure why we would want every interaction with our phone sent to South Korea for analysis. I completely disabled Bixby and setup the button to work with the camera instead. Bixby is not useful.

      What’s the problem? If you hide the Bixby home page, it should not show in your home screen.

      Of course, you will still see the page if you press the Bixby button. You cannot disable the hardware button.

      We are preparing the guide.

      Bixby button is for you to launch Bixby home. In camera app, you should find the Bixby button already. You don’t need Bixby button. You may check this guide on camera app (Bixby vision button is marked as 6) https://gadgetguideonline.com/s8/how-to-use-galaxy-s8-camera-app/

      You cannot remove Bixby from Galaxy S8 and S8+. It’s deeply integrated into the phone. Your only choice is not to use it.

    I used Bixby remapper, it’s an app in the play store, slowed me to map the button to any app, I put it on camera, works great, you just can’t use Bixby at all or it will revert or something, but I don’t care because I never would use it anyway.

      Don’t use Samsung phones. Bixby will come to more Samsung phones with deeper integration. This means it’s almost impossible to disable Bixby without breaking other features.

        Ha ha ha … so for you Bixby would be reason not to use best tech and overall phones which are Samsung? 🙂 Never been so satisfied with any phone as with my current S8. Do not like Bixby, have disabled with app, from time to time come back … but at the end it is not so bad at all once you get used to it. Now I have enabled Bixby, will see after some time. But have have disabled dedicated key which is – IMO – completely silly decision and on the very wrong spot.

    I agree with all the people who complain about being forced to see this stupid Bixby crap. I DO NOT NEED SOME SOFTWARE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I am an intelligent human being, and sick and tired of people trying to f…ing help me like I am a total moron. Because, that’s what I feel they are doing these days: trying to dumb us down so much, we will swallow any crap they feed us. GRRRR!!!

    PS: I bought this S8+ phone because it got the highest rating in Consumer Reports. But they failed to take a few points away for this huge design mistake. Had I known this I would have looked at another phone. Next time I will check and make sure to avoid any phone with this particularly idiotic feature.

    Maybe we can get Kim Jong Un to drop one of his crappy missiles on the whole Samsung group who thought Bixby was a great idea to force on people .. this has got to be the worst, most irritating application ever conceived and wasted on an otherwise nicely done piece of hardware. I would NEVER have bought the phone had I understood this crap app was on it and couldn’t be taken out.

    I followed the steps and I’m still having the same problem. It’s draining my battery.

      You cannot fully disable Bixby in S8. But if you don’t set it up, it should not drain too much battery. If you really don’t want to use it, you can try to clear data for Bixby in settings – apps. There are several Bixby related apps. You need to clear data for all of them.

    EASIEST FIX! Glue the stupid button on the new case you KNOW you are going to have to buy anyway. All of these solutions I read require you to ACTIVATE Bixby before you proceed. I am NOT activating it – to look at the permissions you have to give it – no thanks!

    This trick worked for awhile – all of a sudden this weekend the screen is back if you swipe! It is still turned off as above – but shows up again when swiping!!! Has this happened to anyone else? And do we have fix for it?

      Are you sure it is turned off? When you are in other home screen panel, what’s the leftmost screen panel indicator, dot or two lines?

    “It’s deeply integrated into the OS” is what they said about Explorer in Windows XP-7, and yet it was still possible to remove with a few registry redirects.

      The problem is that Samsung believes Bixby is their future. So they tried very hard to promote Bixby.

    I have a new S8 (replacement of broken phone) and know I want to disable Bixby button and Bixby Home page right away. You solution requires that I go to the Bixby page, which in turns requires that I first accept all of the Samsung permissions and enable Bixby. Ever read those permissions? They are invasive and intrusive. Give Samsung access to all my contacts? No way. Is there any way to disable the Bixby button without first accepting all the Samsung permissions? Is there no button control screen in Settings?

      Yes, you need to enable Bixby to disable the button. For today’s smartphones, you have to trust someone.
