Adding an app to Bixby primarily involves integrating it as a "card" on your Bixby Home screen, providing quick access to relevant information and functionalities from that application. This allows Bixby to present timely updates and shortcuts based on your app usage and preferences.
What are Bixby Home Cards?
Bixby Home cards are dynamic widgets that display personalized information from various apps and services directly on your Bixby Home screen. They offer a quick glance at important details like upcoming calendar events, current weather, recent emails, or music recommendations, reducing the need to open individual apps.
Steps to Add Apps as Cards to Your Bixby Home
Follow these simple steps to customize your Bixby Home screen by adding your preferred applications as cards:
- Navigate to Bixby Home: From your phone's Home screen, swipe right to access the Bixby Home (sometimes referred to as the 'Take a look' screen).
- Access Menu Options: On the Bixby Home screen, tap the Menu icon (often represented by three horizontal lines or dots) usually found in the top right or left corner.
- Select 'Cards': From the menu that appears, select the option labeled 'Cards'. This section allows you to manage which apps and services appear on your Bixby Home feed.
- Choose Your Apps: You will see a list of available applications that can be displayed as cards. This includes popular apps such as:
- Calendar
- Clock
- Reminders
- Weather
- And many more, depending on your installed applications.
- Toggle the Switch: Tap on the preferred app from the list. To enable it as a card, tap the switch to turn it on. To remove an app's card, simply tap the switch to turn it off.
