I'm using s10 plus how do I make phone calls when driving without touching keypad. By just saying the name of the perosn I want to call .any idea please help

You can use either Bixby or Google Assistant. Both works for me.

But of course you need to do the initial setup for both assistants.

Personally, I use Google assistant to call someone more often. But Bixby can help me to put calls on speaker phone.

You can open Play Store. Search Google Assistant. Install it and set it up.

For Bixby, moderator answered it below.

Hey @sleek,

You can do it with Bixby Voice. Follow the below steps:

Press Bixby button >> click on three dots >> Settings>> enable "use while phone lock".

Now when your screen is lock you can say Hi Bixby, then command Bixby to call.

Example: Hi Bixby >> Call Samsung.

interesting, the only real function a cellphone has is to make and receive calls and now the manufacturers have made them so complicated that the can't do that without an assistant. everytime a person is killed while texting the manufacturer of the phone should be sued for millions for producing something that should work automatically without an assistant. it is shear negligence on their part for producing such a dangerous product.
