Hello, Samsung+ Community!

 

It's Acrillix here bringing you a guide on how to resolve the Bixby Briefing setting in the Alarm app. 

 

What is Bixby Briefing?: Bixby Briefing is actually really cool and I've been using it for awhile now. What it does is when the alarm rings, it plays some nice gentle music and Bixby starts telling you the time, the weather, and some recent news (Powered by Google). 

 

How Do I Turn on Bixby Briefing?: You can do this two ways... 

Setting it up from the Alarm App - 

  1. Go to the Alarm App
  2. Set an alarm
  3. Turn on Bixby Briefing
    1. Note that you cannot have custom music at the same time! It's one or the other.
  4. Save the Alarm

Setting it up with Bixby - 

  1. Hold the Bixby Button or say "Hi Bixby!" 
  2. Command Bixby: "Set an alarm for 8 am (or the time you want it)" | Or use a Custom Command like me: "Good Night" (this sets the alarm for 8 am, turns on blue light filter, and turns on Do Not Disturb)
  3. Bixby will automatically set the alarm and turn on Bixby Briefing for you.

What if Bixby doesn't read it aloud?: If your alarm goes off tomorrow (or you can test it by setting it for one minute ahead) and it doesn't work (this happened to me) then follow these steps:

  1. Go to Galaxy Apps and ensure all apps are up to date
  2. Go to Settings > Software Updates and ensure you are up to date
  3. Go to Bixby (press Bixby Button or slide left) and tap the three dots at the top right > then tap Settings > About Bixby. Ensure you are up to date
  4. After you make sure everything is up to date, go to Bixby again and tap on the Bixby logo at the top and then the furthest left icon next to History, then tap on Quick Commands and delete your Custom Command for Bixby to set your alarm. After deleting it, close all Apps and restart the device. Then setup that quick command again and test it.

Hope this helps!

Bixby never reads the news for me. Just the weather...
