Hi,

Are bixby routines available? Can't see them.

Thx

Bixby Routines isn't standard on the S9. Follow the workaround and let us know if it works.
1st link is to an article telling about the workaround, 2nd link is to APKmirror for the latest version of the Bixby Routines apk.

Thanks @S25-Watch7 , I'll check it out.
But is it "safe" in terms of privacy/security to install it from third-party?
Do you know if Samsung has plans to officially support routines on S9 in the future?
I'm afraid no as the phone is getting old..

I consider the apk's from APK mirror as save, when needed I download all my files there. And I think you're right, don't think that Samsung will update and give the old devices Routines.

If I sideload the latest version from APK mirror, do I have to keep an eye myself for updates on the apk and repeat the process?

I'm not sure, maybe when installed, its updatable through the Galaxy Store? Or check through, Bixby settings, About Bixby Routines, then a check for the latest version begins
