Samsung introduced the Bixby Text Call feature earlier this year bringing the “Text-Chat-Like” Communication for incoming callers. The feature is now available for Galaxy Smartphone and Tablet users in India. Upon activation, the user can look for the Call’s context in a text chat, rather than picking the call manually.

A new Bixby Text Call button will be visible on the incoming call screen which will start a text conversation with the caller, while the Bixby will keep conversing over voice with the awners you type.

It is an interesting development that enhances productivity and limits unwanted spam calls. The saved transcription of each call always remains accessible at a later time. It is a boon while you’re busy or in some silent environment where you are not allowed to speak loudly.

Bixby Text Call feature is limited to some smartphones including Galaxy Fold5, Galaxy Flip5, Galaxy Fold4, Galaxy Flip4, Galaxy Fold3, Galaxy Flip3, Galaxy Fold2, Galaxy Flip, Galaxy Flip 5G, Galaxy Fold 5G, Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S231 Ultra, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy A34, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A52s 5G, Galaxy A82 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20+, Galaxy A71 5G, and Galaxy A51 5G.
