If you are a fan of new technology and love using Siri on your iOS devices or Google Assistant on Android, you will probably love the Samsung Smart TV voice recognition feature. Read on to discover how to activate it using the app and with or without a remote.
Where to get the Samsung Smart TV voice control app?

Then select Voice assistant and choose Bixby. Confirm, and then you can choose your preferences for Bixby in the Bixby Voice Settings. To use Bixby, hold the microphone button on your remote controller.
