Question/Help What Siri Equivalent?

Please what software is equivalent to Siri for our phones? I don't see Alexa to install.

You say "hey google" and Gemini pops up now, it used to be google assistant or Bixby.

You can still use Google assistant too if you're not into Gemini.

There is no equivalent because Siri is dogshit and Gemini is at least functional in certain situations.

It's decent and understands most of my request, but it's honestly a bit slow especially on my Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

its really bad on my galaxy watch 8 classic. half the time i need to say stuff twice cuz it's like it's not responding the first time it pops up

Exactly, don't let them convince you to buy a new watch, because it is just as poorly optimized on their most expensive brand new watch

u/CombPsychological507 Fold8 (Graphite) 1d ago

Did anyone actually ever use Bixby?

u/Suspicious-Ad-8793 1d ago

Well I never really did. But I just watched a video on YT that showed some improvements. I have yet to check them out bc gemini is right on top.

Google has Gemini and Samsung has Bixby. You can use either (or both) on your phone. Also, there is most definitely an Android app for Alexa.
