Hey Bixby has some issues on note 20
If I ask it to call someone it usually gets the name wrong
If I ask it to text someone it can't because I am not using the native app I use google messages

If I set a reminder it does but since I have it don't display content on lock screen I can't actually see a way to log in and see the reminder besides snoozing it and then ask Bixby to show reminders after logging in

Bixby responds better then google assistant on the note 20 ultra but google assistant is much more organized and useful inwish you could assign Bixby to use google apps is that possible

Personally I don't use Bixby. Have disabled it since it first came out on the Note 7 or 8. Maybe some of our other Note 20 people will chime in.

I only use Bixby for Bixby routines ... I don't like it otherwise.. rather use Google assistant for everything... My Google assistant works well with phone and locked ..

You can find your phone w google and secure lock it but erase is grayed out. Is it limited ? Is there a way to add more control to goigle find my phone?
