Have you used the Floating Button option in Camera > Settings > Floating Camera Button? If not, try it out, and let us know if that's the kind of thing you're after here.

Hi yes I use that option but still not as useful as tapping anywhere on the screen.

Third party apps have this function but would prefer to use native camera

@phil1210: Understandable. Out of interest, which third party apps?

Any specific apps you're wanting this for? And, out of curiosity, what benefits are you hoping this would this bring?

The software team is working on bringing a UK Bixby Voice (or should that be "Britxby"?) to these shores as soon they can.

How about a Smarthings app for the Gear S3? The apple watch has it!

And how about some smart apps for the Samsung TVs? There isn't one for smartthings, which I do find very strang.

My Suggestion for Samsung Health :

Let us do a ''no name sport'' on the gear S3, register all data, time, Heart rate, gps ..., and on the phone,

give a name to the sport. Like this we can register ALL sport, and not only those on the list,

For me, it is missing Wakeboarding, Stand up paddling, and Urban scooter, i use Urban scooter each day to go working, and Samsung Health believe i am biking ...

And, register gps when i swimm with my phone in the sea !

Thanks

Hi there,

In Do Not Disturb, it would be good if you could add a defined group, such as Family, as Exceptions.
