Single, double or long press? How to remap the Galaxy S8 Bixby button to do anything you please

There have even been efforts to use existing physical button remapping apps in the Play Store, but nothing beats a special, tailored one that is created exclusively for applying different actions to the Galaxy S8's extra Bixby key, including double taps and long presses, unlike previous solutions. Enter bxActions, a simple app that lets you assign many actions to many combinations of short or long-pressing the side button, here's what you can do to bring that clickable Bixby protrusion on the left to its true potential:

1. Download and install the bxActions from Google Play;

2. Upon the prompt, allow the bxActions app to remap physical button reactions in the Settings>Accessibility menu;

3. Upon returning to the app, choose the Remap option;

4. You can assign actions for a single, double or long press now, such as a single tap for Back, so you don't have to stretch all the way down a lengthy phone just to go back to the previous page you were visiting in Chorme, for instance. Assign Home at double press, and you never even have to go down to the on-screen button any more, while long-pressing can be adjusted for anything else you please, like pulling down the notification shade, or launching your chat app of source, for example.
