Know that whatever caller speaks will be transcribed and displayed on the screen. Also, you can respond by selecting a quick response at the bottom of the screen, or typing what you would like to say. Tap Send. Bixby will then read your response to the caller.
Users can also switch from Bixby text call to a voice call by tapping Voice Call at the top of the screen. To end the call, tap End Call at the top of the screen.
