Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why can’t I perform some actions with Bixby Vision? Bixby refuses to translate or identify world-famous landmarks. What am I missing?
A: You need to have an active internet connection to use Bixby. As the data is mostly stored on Samsung’s servers, an internet connection is required to get the necessary data.

Q: Is it not a bad move to store the data on Samsung’s server? Why can’t they just store them on my phone so I can access these data even without an internet connection?
A: Though storing data locally into your phone may save data in the long run, the option is not viable as your phone’s storage is limited. The amount of data that we are talking about are in hundreds of gigabytes, your phone’s storage plus the supported memory card’s storage will not be enough to store the data. Plus, you won’t be using most of the data anyways, so it would be better to have access to them on a per-request basis

Q: Can I use these steps to older Samsung Galaxy Devices?
A: This article may also apply to Samsung Galaxy S8 variants. For models older than the S8, these steps will not work as Bixby, or at least the Bixby button, is not available for Samsung S7 variants and older models.
