Samsung now allows you to train Bixby to use your voice
Samsung has its own intelligent assistant, Bixby. Packed with several features, Bixby is now more enhanced, impressive, versatile and convenient for the users. One such intuitive functionality that is the most stand-out feature of Bixby is that now it offers the ability to create your own custom voice.
A new application, the Bixby Custom Voice Creator App, has been introduced and is now available to all the Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, respectively. Since there is no clarity on whether the latest app requires a One UI 5.1.1 update, its rolling-out process is happening gradually, and it is expected that the app will take some time to be live for everyone.
Bixby Feature: How To Create & Add Your Own Custom Voice
Before creating and adding your voice to Bixby, first, you need to set up your voice. Note that your Galaxy device should be up to 30% charged.
- Just head to the Bixby app’s Settings
- Language and voice style menu
- Now tap the Create Custom Voice option.
And now, you are ready to get going with the process provided below:
- Once done with tapping the Create Custom Voice option, you must download certain apps from the Galaxy Store if you are doing this for the first time.
- Now, you need to repeat the first three processes mentioned above.
- Next, tap on the Start button to start recording your custom voice.
Once you tap on the Start button, it will ask you to read ten sentences shown on the screen. Then you have to name the voice, and Bixby will start learning your voice. Although this is a time-consuming procedure, you can use other apps while the process is completed, as it keeps running in the background. Once it is done, tap on Go to the Settings button. You will now be headed to the Language and voice style menu page, where you can find your latest created custom voice. You can also set it as your default custom voice by tapping over it.
Samsung phones that will grab Android 14 (One UI 6) as their first major OS update
Apart from this, Samsung commits that the Custom voices are exclusive to the Bixby text calls features and other text-to-speech functionality; it can only work in some places. Although Bixby can use your created custom voices to answer the questions, telling you the current time, weather and more.

Samsung has released the Galaxy Enhance-X’s new update. The company doesn’t attach any specific changelog for the application; therefore, it looks like a standard improvement update, but after the installation, we got to know about some new changes in editing sections. Let’s take a deeper look.
Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X: new changes
Samsung has rolled out the new update for the Enhance-X with version number 2.0.89. With the latest version, users will get some new interface changes, including a new redesign of the editing suggestions and a new set of icons.
When you open a picture or video in the Galaxy Enhance-X, it automatically analyzes the content with its AI and suggests to you a set of options that you can use to easily edit. Despite the redesign of these options, the series of suggestions has not introduced any additional innovation.
Along with the icon changes, the company has also changed the order of them. The company has moved the ‘Fix lens distortion’ option from the section that offers the option of real test adjustment image or cropping to the secure related faces.
Installation
To get the advantages of fresh changes, you can check for the latest update. To do that, just go to the Galaxy Store and check for the list of updates. If you find the Galaxy Enhance-X new update available, tap on the update icon to get it on your device.
WhatsApp is one of the popular social media giants that is commonly used worldwide; however, at the same time that WhatsApp became popular gradually, several social media applications arrived, but they didn’t survive in the market. WhatsApp, with its convenient features, has a strong consumer base and is successful in providing better services. However, users who use the beta application sometimes get issues, like recently encountered annoying bug issues while opening the documents.
According to the reports, several users have faced an issue where they are unable to download the document file. Specifically, when they tap on the download button, it reacts as if the application is out of network and shows a pop-up message that says, “The download was unable to complete. Please try again later.” It is worth noticing that the issue only appears for beta testers. So a stable user will not get any trouble from this issue.
Usually, this type of pop-up message appears when you are not connected to the proper network. But according to the information, several beta testers are facing this issue while on a strong network. Most probably, it might be some server-side problem with interpreting the stable network.
However, WhatsApp has resolved the issue with the latest update, version 2.24.10.15. So if you are also facing the same issue, then try to update the application to the latest version. To do that, go to the Google Play Store, then search for WhatsApp, and tap on the update button.
Google already made the Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download for Pixel owners and is gradually but actively moving towards the stable version. The stable version of Android 15 could offer more access to third-party developers for Digital Wellbeing tools.
A few years ago, Google introduced its Digital Wellbeing application in 2019, this helps users balance their digital lives by tracking how much time they spend on each application. It includes various tools such as Dashboard, App timers, and more.
Third-party developers have been limited in how they can use the digital wellbeing tools, but that may be changing with Android 15. For now, third-party applications can only make Do Not Disturb schedules using Android’s Digital Wellbeing APIs, but in the scenarios where Android 15 lands by the end of this year, they will get the power to more fully make use of the tools Google has been keeping to itself.
Particularly, third-party applications will be permitted to make changes to the screen, for instance, by turning off the Always On Display or authorizing Dark Mode. Granted, developers have acknowledged workarounds to enable those features, but now it appears that those functionalities will have official support, a report says.
If this report came true, then users would have a wider variety of applications to manage screen time and focus at their convenience, instead of relying simply on Google’s built-in tools. However, a few core functionalities; for instance, disabling touch and adjusting brightness will possibly remain restricted. It will be interesting to see the exact change in the stable version.
