Deactivate S Voice - how it works
The voice assistant S Voice is preinstalled on every Samsung smartphone. You can deactivate the Siri clone if you do not need it. You have two options for this:
Deactivate home button shortcut for S Voice
You can activate S Voice by default by double-clicking on the home button. This shortcut can be switched off at any time.
- Start the voice assistant and tap the menu button on your smartphone.
- Select the "Settings" entry.
- Remove the check mark at "Open via home button" (see screenshot).
Deactivate voice assistants completely
You can also completely deactivate the Android Assistant. So S Voice can no longer even be started using the app icon.
- Open the Settings app and click on "Application Manager".
- Swipe left twice to switch to the "All" tab.
- Tap the entry "S Voice".
- Tap "Deactivate" to switch off the voice assistant (see screenshot).
Alternatively, you can replace S Voice with three good Siri alternatives.
