Why in the world would Samsung disable voice commands for the camera if you configure bixby to wake your phone. S-Voice never did that. If anything Bixby should at least have the exact functionality but add configurable commands. I really want to like Bixby, but everytime I start to discover it, I find it impracticle. I have had to disable Bixby and use Google assistant instead. $1000 for a phone that does not work. They are doing the same things Apple did that caused me to stop buying the Iphone.

OK I finally figured it out!!  I went through all the Bixby settings (see below) by clicking on the Bixby button and saying "show Bixby Voice Settings".  

 

Language and voice style - English

voice response - hands free only

Automatic Listening - hands-free only

Voice Wake-up (I turned it off and  deleted recordings)

Use while phone locked - off

Bisby dictation - off

Bixby key - press once to open

General:

Marketing Publications - off

Privacy  - off

About Bixby Voice

 

So the change I believe that allowed me to start using the camera voice control setting is the Bixby Voice Wake-Up.  I hope this works for you

Thanks for that solution. I couldn't turn on my camera voice commands either and I couldn't find the option in the "3 dot settings" solution. This has solved my problem.

When I go into the Bixby settings, there's NOT a Voice wake-up option to tap on. What's with that? And how do I get this to appear, in order to disable it?

 

HELP!!!!!!!!!

I will repeat.

 

Many people have that problem (maybe everyone that is up to date).  The Bixby "VOICE" settings do not appear on the Bixby settings menu that you can access on the screen.

 

The way I found to get there is by using Bixby Voice itself...

Hold the Bixby button (or otherwise get bixby to listen for a command), and while it is listening say:

"Bixby Voice Settings"

 

That will get you to the settings screen where you can turn off 

"Automatic Listening" - (never) and

"Voice wake-up" - (off)

This should be able to be fixed pretty quickly. To disable Bixby wake-up simply go to:

  1. Bixby Home
  2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner
  3. Tap Settings
  4. Tap on Voice wake-up
  5. Disable Voice wake-up

You should be able to use your voice commands in the camera app once you've disabled this. Let me know when you've done this. Thanks!
