The idea is related to the new assistant button: Samsung has placed a button on the side of the phone, pressing it to activate Bixby and access its main page. Some users found that assigning a button to the new assistant was not helpful, especially for those who wanted to use the Google Assistant Google Assistant. For this reason, some developers have worked out a way to modify the access permissions on the Galaxy S8 phones, which are designed to change the functionality of the button so that they can be reallocated to other tasks.

The bad news is that Samsung did not cooperate in this endeavor but firmly rejected it. The company released an OTA antenna update that closes the functionality of the button, so users will not be able to change its task to make it perform other functions.

 

In this way, though you would like to change the function of the button, you will only have to do a phone routine to get the full editing powers within the phone.
