In smart phones Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + there is a special physical key for launching Bixby. Now from this assistant of little use, so the craftsmen have found a way to assign to it any other action. Samsung did not like this and it released a patch that forbids changing the purpose of this button. However, hackers managed to circumvent this ban.

A BixRemap application has appeared on Google Play, with which you can make sure that clicking on the Bixby button does not start the Samsung assistant, but the other assistant - Google Assistant or Google Now. BixRemap does not require root-access to the smartphone file system. After running the application, you need to give it access to some system functions.

It is possible that Samsung will be able to block the work and this application, but it is unlikely that hackers will surrender. Android - an open operating system and set any restrictions on it meaninglessly.
