Bixby Routines is Samsung’s Tasker like automation tool for newer Galaxy phones, such as Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10, etc. You can use Bixby Routines to automate various activities on your phone, like opening Google Maps when you are driving, save battery power in the night, go into the silent mode in particular places, and many more.
Bixby Routines isn’t available on older Samsung Galaxy Phones, like Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9, etc., but, you can get it on Galaxy S9 and other older Galaxy phones running Android 10 (One UI 2.0). All you need to install the latest version of the Bixby Routines app APK (current version 2.4.41.4) on your device.
Here’s how to get Bixby Routines on Samsung Galaxy S9 running Android 10 (One UI 2.0).
