How do I fix Bixby Voice not available?
VPN
If Bixby Voice starts working, you can put the SIM card back in yourSamsungdevice.
Some users reported that using aVPNshould spoof your location, making it seem like you’re in the US.
Thus, Bixby Voice should start working on your device as if you were in the US.
However, if your device has other means of picking your location without relying on your Internet connection and/or SIM card, things could get a bit complicated.
Surfshark
*We strongly recommend Surfshark since it’s thebest VPN that can spoof your GPS location, in addition to your IP-based location. It offers a 7-day free trial for Android users (no credit card required) and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Reinstall Bixby Voice
Some users have reported that Bixby Voice doesn’t work on their devices even if they’re in a supported country.
Instead of being able to access the app, they would see the following error message:
Bixby Voice isn’t available in your country.
However, some of these errors seem to have appeared as a result of cached data build-ups.
In some cases, logging out of the Samsung account, clearing the cache, reinstalling the app, and logging back in seemed to have restored its functionality.
Update apps and flash CSC (advanced)
If you did everything correctly, you should have Bixby Voice up and running on yourSamsungdevice in no time.
Note that this method could work (technically) on non-Samsungdevices as well.
Important:if you’ve never flashed anything to yourSamsungdevice, you should not try this method, unless you’re fine with potentially bricking your device, voiding its warranty, or rendering it unusable.
All things considered, if Bixby Voice isn’t available in your country, there are a few tricks you could try out.
Obviously, the easiest fix would be spoofing your location with a VPN. And Sufshark (buy here) is the best VPN for changing your GPS location and IP address.
Still, using a VPN is not a foolproof solution for all users and Samsung devices.
If you have the technical know-how and are familiarized with advanced Android operations such as flashing custom files to your device, you could try the advanced method listed on our page.
