Bixby

I recently purchased the S22 Ultra and for some reason, Bixby just won't talk to me. If I ask a question Bixby either gives a text response or just gives me that stupid 'i don't understand' reply. I used to use it daily on my note9 and it was far from perfect but at least it worked. I've tried every single Youtube tutorial and read every troubleshooting page I could find but nothing answered this. Is anybody here able to assist me with this please?

Have you trained your voice so it recognises it better? Settings search for voice match, or just search for voice and see other options like accesibility? Would Google Assistant do? Hold down middle bottom button until Google Assistant opens, or read up using voice for Google Assistant.

Thanks for your reply. Google assist works just fine but sometimes that can be buggy so having a functional Bixby is useful. It's pretty sad that Google works better than the Samsung inbuilt app. It recognises my voice just fine. The issue is that Bixby does NOT talk back... it just gives me written information as if I asked Google assist. At least Google assist actually gives verbal replies if I'm driving though but apparently that's too difficult for Bixby.

Thanks for your suggestion. I can't find those settings, are you able to show me the breadcrumb flow through the settings to get there please?

Wow 6 days just to get a reply... that's pathetic. I already have that setting on 'ALWAYS' and this piece of junk still doesn't work. Is there anybody on here that can actually help? I mean it seems there are people that get paid to respond but don't bother. I'm heading back to Apple, Samsung **bleep**... no loyalty to their customers, even one that buy the 2K models..

to fix the voice response with Bixby

Settings/ apps/ google/permissions/ turn off all permissions

Bixby will work again

To use voice on your home page on google touch the mic and it will ask you for permissions and only give it for this one.

Then they will both work , hope this resolve your issue.

Now my bixby button doesn't launch that. I just get that stupid little voice icon squirming in the bottom of the screen. What actual app am I supposed to finding/launching. Routines, voice.. which one please?
