Samsung will discontinue its S Voice assistant on June 1, 2020

If you've been a Samsung smartphone user for a while, then you will be familiar with S Voice. Well, it's time to say goodbye to the voice assistant as the company plans to discontinue it on June 1, 2020. Samsung has since replaced S Voice with Bixby. It isn't as conversational as Bixby, Google Assistant, or Siri. Still, S Voice was able to perform a few tasks when you issue voice commands like asking it to call someone, remind you of an appointment, run an internet search, or launch navigation apps with directions to your desired location. 

S Voice was replaced by Bixby back when Samsung launched the Galaxy S8, so you probably don't even have to think about this assistant going away. It will affect devices like the Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9, Galaxy Note FE, Galaxy Note 2, 3, 4, 5, Galaxy S3, 4, S5, S6, S6 edge, as well as the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, Galaxy W, Galaxy Tab 4, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0/10.1, Galaxy Tab S8.4, and S10.5. If you own one of these devices and surprisingly used S Voice, your only alternative is using Google Assistant, which isn't an inadequate substitute considering Bixby has its problems, too.
