The news of the Samsung Bixby and Bixby Routines update

As for Bixby Routines, the update addresses a number of issues with Samsung's IFTTT tool, such as a bug that would in some situations lead to the blue light filter being disabled and an issue that would cause an app to fail to launch.

More interesting, however, is the changelog related to Bixby, as in addition to the resolution of some bugs, some new features are introduced, such as the improvement of the Finder integration (when a user searches for functions such as mobile hotspot or Do not disturb mode, they will see a list of Bixby Voice commands corresponding to this feature) and the ability to interact with smart TVs (2020 models or later) via your smartphone (if your phone and TV are registered with the same Samsung account, you can ask Bixby to find and play videos through voice commands).
