I have been a fan of Samsung devices for a long time now. I recently bought s20 FE 5G. I love the device and new One UI experience. However, I was bummed to find out that I cannot disable or deny any permissions given to Bixby. This is not what Android is about. People love and use Android devices, because they provide flexibility and control. Having these restrictions makes me think that Bixby is sneaking into my privacy. I have seen my location being accessed even when device location service is turned off. This is really not making me feel secure using this device.
I think this is a major threat to privacy or any users. Please provide a solution to this or fix this in the next software update.
Bro Samsung Devices are very secure! Bixby is preloaded so no permission can be denied. One UI 4 Android 12 has a lot of privacy features! Wait for the update its coming in JAN22 for S20 FE 5G!
Bixby is great. I just love it. Just one example I can give you. Try to use two Sims in your mobile. Connect a Bluetooth headset and use Google assistant to call a contact through voice command... Now Google assistant will prompt for which sim card to use. Whereas in Bixby you can give the contact to call and also tell which simcard to use. It will automatically inform you that it is using the respective sim card to call I love that feature
One thing I like most is bixby routine. It's the best one. Use it. And bixby is not that bad. For security you don't have to worry just Don't use them. After some days it'll be in deep sleep cause samsung has features which can put any app(even It's own app) to sleep if you Don't use for so many days. I think it's between 30 or 60 days something like this.
