I just updated my unlocked S8 plus. Once Bixby updated I got the settings symbol and it gave me the option to turn off the button. This is great.

Sent from my SM-G955U1 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

The same thing with turn off switch. But after I switched it, in the first nothing happened, in the second this switch disappeared. The bixby button still starts it (((

Yes, I see the same, but at least it doesn't wake Bixby.

I installed the apk, saw the option from the pull down and after enabling it, it disappeared. Not in the settings either and although I selected to disable it,it isn't working.

go to bixby home and press the settings logo on top right the option to disable the button will show up directly , dont go into bixby settings just press the settings logo in bixby home

Still wakes te phone accidentally when I pull it off my pocket. Well, it's half fixed at least, but I see Samsung's point: why would we need a button there which does nothing. .

I've had it disabled completely (pressing button does nothing, ever) since June. Just use BK package disabler (no root required) to disable ALL bixby related apps.
