How to Install Bixby Routines Any Samsung OneUI 2.0 Devices

Rooted One UI users have been able to install Bixby Routines since last March, but those users who were stuck with locked bootloaders or who coudn’t root for any other reason have missed out on the app until now. 

Even now, Samsung hasn’t officially released Bixby Routines for the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy Note 9. 

However, the workaround is simple. Galaxy S9/Galaxy Note 9 users running Android 10-based One UI 2 can download the app from APKMirror and install it, and then check for the new Bixby Routines option in their phone’s settings app, Settings Advanced features. 

The option should be at the top and it will be enabled by default. Tapping on the option will access Bixby Routines, which is a list of configurable settings that the phone automates on certain occasions, for example. The app will function identically compared to the Galaxy S10/Galaxy Note 10.

The only difference is that users will need to manually add the Bixby Routines quick settings toggle if they want to have such a toggle; it isn’t added automatically.

This is an easy fix, however; open the button order editor from the overflow menu and drop the toggle in the active toggles section.

Android Police was able to specifically verify that this works on an unlocked Galaxy S9 running the latest Android 10-based One UI 2. Several users have now confirmed it works on the Galaxy Note 9 as well. As for the Galaxy S8 running Android 9, it seems some users have been able to use it without issues, while others are facing app crashes and other problems.

As this workaround is unofficial, it’s always possible that Samsung will be alerted to it and disable Bixby Routines access on its 2018 flagships. On the other hand, the company could also be planning to add it to the Galaxy S9/Galaxy Note 9 with a future update. Regardless, users don’t need to wait as they can get the app up and running by simply sideloading it for now.
