If you own a Galaxy S21 and use Bixby, the voice sensitivity can be changed to low, medium, or high.
Giving voice commands with Bixby is great, but sometimes the sensitivity needs adjusting.
If you are having issues with Bixby not taking voice commands or turning them on, it may need to be adjusted.
Likewise, if Bixby is too sensitive and opens without being called, it can be turned down until it works correctly.
Most users will have sensitivity on low to medium with high often causing Bixby to open unnecessarily.
If the option is set to high, Bixby may open on sounds that are not meant to open it.
There is a warning message about this below the sensitivity setting.
Of course, it may work for you and it can be changed back at any time.
