Use Bixby Routines to Automate Daily Tasks

Make your Samsung Galaxy smarter by using Bixby Routines — a built-in automation tool that helps you save time and effort in your daily life. You can automate actions like changing settings, launching apps, or sending messages based on conditions you define.

Step 1: Open Bixby Routines

Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines. You can also access it quickly from the Quick Panel by swiping down and tapping the Bixby Routines icon.

Step 2: Create a New Routine

Tap + Add Routine. You’ll see two main sections: If and Then. “If” defines the trigger, while “Then” defines the action that happens automatically.

Step 3: Choose a Trigger

Select a condition such as Time, Location, Device Status, App Opened, or even Wi-Fi Connection. For example, you can make your phone switch to silent mode when you arrive at work.

Step 4: Add an Action

Pick what your Galaxy should do once the trigger happens — such as turn on Do Not Disturb, launch Spotify, enable Bluetooth, or send an auto message.

Step 5: Save and Test the Routine

Give your routine a name and tap Save. You can enable or disable routines anytime from the main Bixby Routines page or from Quick Settings.

OnePlus Tip

Try combining multiple conditions in one routine — for example, “When I connect to my car’s Bluetooth, open Maps and enable Do Not Disturb.” It’s a powerful way to make your Galaxy adapt automatically to your lifestyle.
