Samsung Had Blocked Galaxy S8 Remapping of Bixby Button
But unfortunately, according to the news coming from Samsung, the company has shut down remapping the Bixby button in its Galaxy S8 phones. Previously, the Bixby button was allowed to remap and to change its default function. But the latest Galaxy S8 firmware removes this possibility altogether.
This news was confirmed by the Samsung representative on Twitter as well. According to him, the company has removed the ability to remap the Bixby button. He added that a similar OTA update is expected to hit the Galaxy S8 phones in the near future that will block the remapping ability of the Samsung’s virtual assistant to any other apps or even Google Assistant. Keeping this news in mind, this seems that Samsung was not happy with the remapping thing of their Bixby button and that is the reason why they have blocked the remapping it in a new OTA. Some developers have again gained access to remapping Bixby Button on Galaxy S8 / Plus, despite of being banned by Samsung.
