1. Bixby Text Call: An artifact to block scam calls?

Everyone knows that Samsung has its own Bixby voice assistant, but because it cannot support many languages, excluding Traditional Chinese, so most users choose not to use it, but in fact, after updated One UI 5, Bixby The new features may be of some use to you.

This feature is called “Bixby Text Call”. It allows Bixby to answer an incoming call, talk to the other party through Bixby’s voice, and transcribe what the other party said into text.

In One UI 5, Samsung designed a new “Mode and Daily Schedule” function, allowing users to change the phone settings according to different situations, allowing the phone to handle some trivial functions automatically. “mode and daily itinerary” is divided into two parts: “mode” and “daily itinerary” “Mode” has planned a series of preset modes, such as sleeping, driving, exercise, relaxation, work, etc., which can be customized by users How to turn these mods on, and then what kind of settings will be made after turning them on.

For example, in sleep mode, I can set the time to turn on sleep mode, set the alarm clock, turn on do not disturb mode, turn on screen grayscale mode and power saving mode, etc. is automatically turned on after the set sleep time. In addition, the driving mode can be set when connected to the Bluetooth audio system used in the car, and the sports mode can be applied when exercising, or the relaxation mode can be set at home, and the work mode can be set . in the company.
