This process will work on the standard version of the Galaxy S23 that I have here, as well as the larger Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

If you've ever tried to turn off this device via the traditional power button on the side, you've probably noticed that it no longer displays the power menu. At least it won't work with the default configuration.
So the first thing I want to show you is that we can make this button work normally by opening the Settings app and then searching for the word /"side./"
From there, tap the Side Key option and change Press and Hold from Wake Bixby to the Power Off menu. Once this has been changed, go ahead and test it by pressing and holding the power button.
For many people, that's all they need to do to stop being bothered by Bixby. Samsung likes to use the Galaxy S23 to promote its services but many of us simply don't want to use this virtual assistant. And removing its ability to be activated by pressing the Power button is enough.
But we can go further and disable the Bixby Voice service completely.
This is done by opening the Settings app
Selecting the Applications option
Enabling the Show system apps toggle
And then I look for the word Bixby
You will see Bixby Vision, Bixby Voice, and many other Bixby services appear in the list.
We can disable the Bixby Voice service from running in the background by selecting it
And then pressing the Disable button here at the bottom.
If you want to stop here, you can. And you will be assured that the Bixby Voice service will not be able to run in the background.
However, when we search for the word Bixby in this list, you will notice that there are 4 apps in total.
When we try to disable these apps, we are not allowed to use this method because Samsung prevents us from doing so.
But we can actually use a simple ADB command to uninstall all these apps from the default user account on our Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23 Ultra.
This will truly prevent them from running in the background and effectively remove them from our smartphone.
In order to use ADB to uninstall these apps and services, we need to know the package name of these apps.
So when I use an app to reveal the package names, I see that we actually have 5 different services running on the Galaxy S23 series related to Bixby.
So let's connect our smartphone to PC with a USB cable and start removing Bixby from this device.
We're going to switch to an ADB shell so we can actually uninstall Bixby.
And now we need to run an ADB command for each of the Bixby apps that we saw in this Package Name app.
So first we're going to type
pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.app.settings.bixby
pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
As long as we don't receive an error message when we run these commands, it means we did it correctly.
