Samsung adds the Bixby Voice feature to more than 200 countries

After being available only in the U.S. and South Korea, earlier today Samsung added Bixby Voice to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ in over 200 countries such as Australia, Canada, South Africa and the U.K. With Bixby Voice, a user can snap a selfie, activate Bixby Voice, and say "Post the recently taken selfie to Facebook." To activate Bixby Voice, click on the dedicated Bixby button on the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+, or say "Hi, Bixby."

Samsung isn't finished spreading Bixby Voice throughout the planet. The company plans on adding more languages, capabilities and devices that the AI personal assistant will work with. The manufacturer will also add more third party applications that will work with Bixby Voice.

One reason to start pushing out the update today has to do with tomorrow's introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. While today's update focuses on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, it also means that as soon as the Sammy's new high-end phablet is released, the Bixby Voice feature will be available to Galaxy Note 8 buyers.
