    Tried to look it up: https://mashable.com/article/samsung-will-let-you-customize-bixby-button

    That article claims the option came out when the s10 was out. I seem to remember being able to mod it on my phone as well S9. Can’t test it though because while I’ve had this phone for 5 years now I may have not babied it enough. The physical bixby button has fallen into the phone itself so I can hear ot rattle around. If I were speculating, I would assume it either A. became available to all 3 phones during that same software update, or we remember it sooner being part of something like putting the phone into developer mode so we could have further modifications

      Thanks for the link! Yeah, I definitely used a 3rd party app/software to be able to remap the S8 button. I think it was called something literally like “Bixby Remapper”. I thought I used the same app for my S10 but I might have just remapped it natively.

      As an aside, my S8 is still alive and kicking after all these years, while my S10 had button problems like yours + OneUI became a buggy mess on it after a year. The build quality just doesn’t feel the same.
