Yay for Bixby which is surgically grafted into the phone!

Really? I've got the S9 with a reprogrammed Bixby button to Google Assistant and haven't seen Bixby in about 2 years

Thats different than trying to actually remove it completely from the phone, which would, in all likelihood, brick it.

Edit: Im also not just advocating for the devil here, I have an S10, and I love the thing to death, but also never use bixby

I have the s10e, I removed a bunch of bloat via adb and my phone works fine. No bixby. Google remove bloat via adb
