According to a report, Samsung has rolled out updates to Bixby, Bixby Global Action, Bixby Wake up, Bixby Dictation, and Bixby PLM in countries like the U.K, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, South Africa, India, Netherlands, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Iran, the UAE, Australia, the Philippines, Pakistan, and Argentina.

Samsung users all over the world have been tweeting about the Bixby update, however, there are users who have been facing glitches regarding the same. For those who have not received the update yet, the update is rolling out in stages and will reach the compatible handsets eventually.

The Voice update which was launched back in May was initially available to only Korean speaking users and was later activated in US English. Now, the company seems to have updated the feature to come in various other languages in its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Currently, it is working in sync with its native applications, however, the company is reportedly working to ensure that the Bixby Voice feature works on third-party apps as well.

There are rumours that Samsung will activate the Bixby Voice service on a global scale on August 22, a day before the Galaxy Note 8 is slated for launch. According to a report, users in Germany have been facing problems with the Bixby Dictation feature, with complaints that the transcription quality is not something to write home about. For users in the UK, where the update was pushed out yesterday, this feature is apparently not working.
