Although Samsung is trying to push its virtual assistant forward, it has enough power and introduced a number of interesting improvements with the latest update, it seems that it still misses some things. In addition to the support of a very small number of languages, users began to complain about another unpleasant nuisance of the artificial assistant.
A problem that only affects owners of the rugged model Galaxy The S8 Active seems rather banal and indicates Samsung's inattention rather than a serious error. According to contributions from foreign forums, Bixby cannot open the Calendar application. The sign that pops up on users asking to open the calendar prompts them to update the application. But even that doesn't solve the problem, and Bixby can't handle the calendar, which is a real problem for an app of this type.
This is what a phone looks like, on which Bixby has not proven itself twice:

The problem is already being solved intensively
The South Korean giant has not yet commented on the whole problem, but according to information from the forums, it is already intensively dealing with the problem and intends to solve it in the shortest possible time interval. However, a mistake of this type is not a good business card for the company. At a time when competing assistants tackle similar tasks without batting an eye, it would be good to perfect similar things rather than dealing with new improvements that will benefit from opening the calendar of a handful of users.
Samsung can at least enjoy the fact that it is not the only one in this regard. Even competitive Apple namely, he reports a problem in which his intelligent assistant plays an important role. She can open the calendar without any problem, but questions about the weather cause such a problem that she restarts because of it Apple Watch.
Hopefully, Samsung will learn from similar mistakes and focus primarily on perfect tuning of basic functions. If he did not adopt a similar strategy, he could face problems in the future and destroy his intelligent assistant. So let's be surprised by what he has in store for us in the next update.
