Samsung's Bixby voice assistant has a dedicated hardware button on the Galaxy S8 and it was recently revealed that a third-party app could be used to remap the Bixby button. This would have enabled users to configure the button to open any app on the device instead of the assistant. It would have certainly come in handy.

However, we've now found out that Samsung has sent out a new update for the Galaxy S8 which makes it impossible to remap Bixby button without rooting the device first.
