[Exclusive] Samsung Will Add Voice Input And Tutorials Mode In Bixby Routines In One UI 5 Update
Samsung is undoubtedly one of the most reliable manufacturers in the Android market regarding the distribution of updates, consistently reaffirming its leadership release of new security patches for their Galaxy smartphones, tablets, or other mobile devices.
The company, over the years, has to gear up the release timing of new versions of Android, customized with its own One UI interface. This year, Samsung has already released the One UI 5.0 and many smartphones, especially the flagship ones – Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series.
This new version of UX comes with several new exciting features that will grab every Galaxy user’s attention.
The list of changes in One UI 5 is especially numerous. It includes a handful of new features that affect different sections of the system and introduce both functional and aesthetic improvements to the operating system. Among these, we must highlight a new, improved colour palette to customize the user interface, stacked widgets, separate wallpapers for each contact and the ability to configure the language of each application.
With this update, you may also adjust the library of lock wallpaper, personalize the Samsung keyboard’s space bar row, and extract text from photos or directly from the camera. The design of notifications and quick settings, the Samsung DeX interface with new physical motions and keyboard shortcuts, the search within the My Files app, since you can now search for information within photographs and documents, and more have all been upgraded by the Korean company.
We have already shared the latest news of beta 3 of the One UI 5.0 based on Android 13, which Samsung released a few days ago in Europe on the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra.
One UI 5 Bixby Routines
With the One UI 5.0 beta, Samsung removed the toggle option of Bixby routines under the advanced feature, and if you received the latest beta version, the Bixby routines is now moved to under Modes option (The third option under the settings).
Samsung Bixby Will Have Voice Input (“In” & “Then” Section) and Tutorial Mode in One UI 5
We exclusively brought you news of new features coming to Bixby Routines that will be available in the official version of One UI 5. Our team members have brought this news from Samsung’s internal source.
Here is the full conversation –
If more options could be added to make the experience more complete and perhaps user friendly. For example, walk people through with a tutorial Bixby mode by teaching them how to make one. If people knew how to use them, I’m sure it would be utilized more.
Also, why is there no option in the “if ” section for “Bixby voice input” or something. I want to be able to tell Bixby something, and it will do what I tell it to do in the “then” section.
