Samsung launches Bixby Text Call feature in India

Samsung today announced the launch of Bixby Text Call - a feature that lets Bixby answer and respond to your incoming calls - in India for a select few models.

To enable the feature:

• Open the Phone app on the supported device > More Options (the three-dot icon) > Settings.
• Tap on Bixby text call and then turn on the feature in the Bixby text call window.
• Once you have turned on Bixby text call, you can further edit Bixby text call settings such as language and voice. You can also add new quick responses or customize existing ones.

When the feature is turned on, you can see Bixby text call when you receive a call. Tap on the option and then swipe up on the green-coloured icon to initiate a Bixby text call.

The caller will only hear an automated voice and Bixby will also ask the caller who they are and why they are calling. Once the caller begins to speak, you will see their response transcribed on the screen.

To reply to the caller, you can start typing with the keyboard or select a quick response, and Bixby will read your messages to the caller. Once the call is over, you can even look back on your conversations. To view logs of past conversations, go to the Phone app > Recents tab > select a call with the speech bubble icon next to them, and then tap the Info icon ("i") > tap on the speech bubble icon.

Bixby Text Call is available on Galaxy Fold5/Flip5, Fold4/Flip4, Fold3/Flip3, Fold2/Flip/Flip 5G/Fold 5G, S23/S23+/S23 Ultra, S22/S22+/S22 Ultra, S21/S21+/S231 Ultra, S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, A34, A54, A52s 5G, A82 5G, A53 5G, A33 5G, S20 FE, Note 20/ Note 20+, A71 5G and A51 5G.
