the description the very first thing is let me show you how to access Bixby
routines in case you don't know so swipe down on your phone go into the quick
toggle menu here swipe over until you see Bixby routines and there you go so
the very first thing you're greeted with are the recommended routines these are
not enabled by default you have to set them up and then if you tap on my
routines these are gonna be the ones that you have enabled Bixby routines are
a great way to enable multiple actions that will take place based off a
specific occurrence now that occurrence could be a specific time or day enabling
a certain setting or opening an app we're gonna create a custom one but
first I want to go to the recommended routines and break them down and show
you how you can tweak them to fit your lifestyle so if we go back over to the
recommended tab we have good work home before bed save battery at
night driving going to work heading home school charging meeting workout
Auto rotate and open app it's like I said these are not enabled by default
they're just recommended and you can tweak them to make them more fit for you
to do that we're going to scroll up to good morning and then tap on that you
can see the if portion is going to be the occurrence basically if something
occurs in this place a specific time then the action will take place or
actions so we're going to tap on time and we're going to change the actual
time to 7:00 a.m. and go over here and then change p.m. to a.m. hit the
checkmark hit done and then move on to the next portion which is going to be
the then now these are going to be the actions that will take place based off
that specific occurrence at 7:00 a.m. so right now it's set for always-on display
will turn on and then the lockscreen shortcuts are going to change and go to
Bixby on the left and BitDefender total security on the right we're going to
change those shortcuts to camera on the right and then phone or dialer on the
left so we're gonna go down to foam and then on the right we're gonna change
this to camera and then tap Done so now at 7:00 a.m. the always-on display will
turn on and then the shortcuts are gonna change to phone and camera and then also
the dashboard widgets are going to change to list the weather forecast and
recommended apps and you can also change these by tapping on them or you can
actually disable those if you don't want them that's pretty much how you tweak a
recommended routine now you can also adjust the name before you exit out of
this so this tap up here where it says good morning and then you can change the
name of it I'm gonna leave it as good morning tap Done and boom there's the
routine right there and to enable this you're going to just toggle it on and
off very simple now what you can do is you can add this shortcut to your home
screen here just by going up to these three icons go into settings and then
right here where it says show Bixby routines icon make sure to enable that
and now it's going to add a Bixby routines icon and
your app drawer and on your home screen so if we go back home you can see inside
my app drawer here I have a big spear routine icon right here so if I just tap
on that it's going to take me to the big speed routine settings and I can enable
and disable the routines that have running so if I don't want this to run
at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning I can just disable it if I wanted to run at 7:00
a.m. I can enable it simple as that that's how you edit a recommended
routine now we're gonna set up a custom one we're gonna title it goodnight
because it's gonna be the routine that I go through each and every night with my
note 10 plus to do that tap the plus icon and then we're going to tap up here
where it says routine 1 and we're gonna change that to good night and then tap
the plus icon to add the first if now we're only going to do one if on the
specific routine and that's going to be a time we're gonna change it to 9:00
p.m. and then at the bottom here you have the days that this is going to take
place right now it's only set for Saturday we're going to enable Monday
Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday and then disable Saturday tap Done and
then we're gonna hit next to go to the din portion now remember the then
portion or the set of actions that are going to take place based off the
previous occurrence or in other words at 9:00 p.m. at night these actions are
going to automatically occur so we're going to tap the plus icon and then
we're going to scroll down until we see do not disturb cuz that's gonna be the
very first thing I want enabled and then tap Done and then we're gonna hit the
plus icon to add another then and we're going to adjust the volume on the
speaker push it all the way down tap Done and then we're going to do one more
tap the plus icon and then scroll down until we see brightness and then we're
gonna crank that all the way down and then tap Done so now that we have the if
and the then setup we're pretty much done here so we can just tap Done and
then the routine is automatically added into my routines now I can disable the
good night routine and you'll see the brightness gets brighter because that's
how you can automatically force these routines to take place so even though
it's disabled the actual schedule is still going to occur so this is still
going to turn on at 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
with good morning so you can force these just by enabling them on their own or
you can set them up for a schedule to where they're automatically going to
happen now routines do not need to be ran based on a specific time or a day
you can actually set them up to run whenever you open an app reach a
location turn on a specific setting or even while you're charging your phone
we're going to set one up to run whenever I open YouTube to give you an
example so what we're gonna do is create a custom one we're gonna tap on the plus
icon and then we're going to title this YouTube and then we're going to tap the
big plus icon and then we're going to go to app opened and we're gonna find
YouTube so let's go all the way down tap on YouTube hit done hit next the then
portion is going to be Auto rotate now every time I open YouTube the phone's
automatically going to change its orientation and go from portrait to
landscape so let's scroll down till we see auto rotate which is right there
screen orientation and we're gonna go to landscape tap Done the other thing we're
going to add is the equalizer so we're going to scroll down until we see
equalizer and enable that and we're gonna go to the rock equalizer because I
find that to be the loudest and richest tap done and then hit done again
now it's automatically turned on by default so if I launch YouTube right now
the phone should technically change its orientation and go into landscape let's
try it out we'll go ahead and open my Google folder launch YouTube you can see
it starts in portrait and then it switches the landscape just like that
super easy and you can have a bunch of routines just like this to control your
phone automatically so that's bigsby routines in a nutshell basically a list
of chain commands that are gonna automatically run whenever a specific
occurrence happens now you can also control these with your voice using
bixby voice and it's chain based command system so let me show you how to access
that to access the settings we're gonna go into the app drawer and locate the
bigsby app tap on that and then tap on the three little dots right here and
then go to quick commands now these are going to be different categories of
recommended commands so you have productivity daily routine lifestyle and
place unlike the recommended bixby routines i
like the recommended bixby quick commands let me show you why so if we
dive into daily routine and go to good night and then select that you can see
right now if I say good night it's going to turn on do not disturb disable
always-on display set the alarm for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow tell me how the weather is
and then read my schedule for tomorrow now I'm gonna edit this I don't need it
to tell me how the weather is and I really don't need it to read me the
schedule so we'll tap Done and then now we're going to save this and boom that's
it now it's saved under my commands now if I say hey Bixby good night
sure thing I've turned off always on display got it the wake-up alarm is set
for tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. it will go off in 16 hours 43 minutes so there you go
it just ran all of my list of commands based off of one little phrase now let
me show you how you can make Bixby routines even better using Bixby voice
we've already set up a good night routine but let's edit that routine and
make it better by implementing the one that we just set up with this quick
command so we're gonna go back into the bixby routine settings and we're going
to tap on goodnight and then tap on the little pin icon tap next because we only
want to edit the den category we're gonna delete all of these and then add
the Bixby quick command so scroll down until you see Bixby settings and then
tap on run quick command make sure good night is enabled and then tap Done now
at 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday Bixby routines is automatically going to run
that quick command and I don't have to say goodnight or anything like that to
me that's extremely powerful because it's showing you how well Bixby voice
and quick commands work with Bixby routines now let's go ahead and bounce
back over to the quick commands and I'm gonna give you one more example so we'll
go to lifestyle we're gonna tap on movie mode and right now whenever I say movie
mode it's going to turn on Do Not Disturb set sound mode to vibrate and
then open the Netflix app but we don't want it to open the Netflix app instead
this is what we're gonna do so we're gonna save that we're gonna leave it as
movie mode we're gonna save and then we're going to bounce back over to
routines and right here where I have YouTube we're going to select that and
we're gonna change YouTube to Netflix now whenever I open the Netflix app it's
automatically going to switch my phone to the landscape position it's going to
adjust the equalizer it's going to set my phone to Do Not Disturb and adjust
all of the sound to vibrate it's pretty cool the first thing we need to do is
tap on app opened and then tap on YouTube and we're going to locate
Netflix so we'll just scroll down to the ends
tap on Netflix hit done and then hit next and then these two are fine we're
actually going to change the equalizer from rock to custom tap Done and then
right here tap the plus icon again and then scroll down until you see big speed
tap on run quick command and then select movie mode that's it
so that's pretty much it super easy stuff the last thing that we need to do
is adjust the routine name because right now it's YouTube we need to change it in
Netflix so we'll tap up here where it says YouTube and then we'll change that
to Netflix and then we'll select done now right now it's turned off we're
gonna go ahead and enable it and then we're going to launch YouTube now right
now you can see my phone is not and do not disturb and that's gonna be your
proof that this is working so we'll go ahead and launch Netflix it should
automatically go from portrait to landscape and then you can see turn on
do not disturb has already started happening and then the last thing should
pop up right here let's give it a minute
so there you go everything ran and it's functioning just like it should if I go
back you could see Netflix is right here and I could start screaming and watching
some movies so there you guys go that was a quick breakdown of big speed
routines a big speed voice and bixby quick commands and how all three can
integrate and work cohesively with each other and you can create some really
awesome chain commands using all three especially if you're tied into the
Samsung ecosystem like smart things or you're using Samsung appliances that
have bixby built in already because all of that can function using these
routines as well as bixby quick commands and I highly suggest that if you own any
of those appliances to start looking at how you can incorporate them into your
routines you never know what you can accomplish and it's just really awesome
having this available now if you guys want to see a big speed tips and tricks
