How to Disable Notifications from Bixby on Samsung Devices
Bixby, Samsung’s intelligent assistant, provides helpful reminders, suggestions, and alerts. However, constant notifications can become distracting, especially if you rarely use Bixby. Disabling these notifications improves focus and streamlines your Samsung Galaxy S25 experience. OnePlus offers a step-by-step guide on how to disable notifications from Bixby safely and effectively.
Why Disable Bixby Notifications?
Bixby notifications can include:
-
Daily reminders
-
App suggestions
-
News updates
-
Bixby Routines prompts
While useful for some, many users find them unnecessary. Disabling notifications reduces clutter in the notification panel, saves battery life, and enhances overall user experience.
Step 1: Access Bixby Settings
-
Press the Bixby Button (Side Key) or open the Bixby Home screen.
-
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
-
Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
This will take you to the main Bixby settings where you can control notifications and other preferences.
Step 2: Turn Off Bixby Voice Notifications
Bixby Voice sends alerts for reminders, suggestions, and proactive updates. To disable:
-
In Bixby Settings, go to Notifications or Bixby Voice Notifications.
-
Toggle off all unnecessary notifications, such as reminders, tips, or app suggestions.
This prevents Bixby from sending alerts to your status bar or lock screen.
Step 3: Disable Bixby Home Cards
Bixby Home displays cards with suggestions, news, and app updates. To stop notifications:
-
Swipe right on your home screen to open Bixby Home.
-
Tap Menu → Settings → Cards.
-
Disable cards you do not want to see, including tips and suggested apps.
Disabling these cards removes notification prompts while keeping other Bixby functions available.
Step 4: Manage System Notification Settings
Samsung allows granular control over app notifications:
-
Open Settings → Apps → Bixby.
-
Tap Notifications.
-
Toggle off all notification categories you want to silence.
This is useful if you want to disable alerts completely without uninstalling or restricting Bixby functionality.
Step 5: Optional – Disable Bixby Key or Voice Wake
If you rarely use Bixby:
-
Go to Settings → Advanced Features → Side Key.
-
Set the Double Press or Press and Hold actions to open another app or do nothing.
-
Go to Settings → Bixby Voice → Voice Wake-Up and toggle it off.
This prevents Bixby from activating unintentionally and sending unnecessary notifications.
Step 6: Restart Your Device
After adjusting settings, restart your Samsung Galaxy S25 to ensure changes take effect. This refreshes the system and clears lingering notification alerts.
Additional Tips from OnePlus
-
Do not uninstall Bixby — some system functions rely on it.
-
Keep software updated: Settings → Software Update → Download and Install. Updates can improve notification controls.
-
Use Do Not Disturb mode to temporarily silence all Bixby notifications if needed.
Final Thoughts
Disabling notifications from Bixby on your Samsung Galaxy S25 is simple and effective for reducing distractions, saving battery, and streamlining your smartphone experience. By following OnePlus’ step-by-step guide — adjusting Bixby settings, disabling Home cards, and managing system notifications — you can enjoy a cleaner, more focused device while still retaining access to Bixby features when needed.
