The assistant was announced in 2012 with the release of widely popular Galaxy S III. The first attempt wasn’t that much solid since the app had plenty of bugs and responded slow.

The support page on the Samsung website says that the S Voice Service will no longer work after June 1, 2020. The S Voice farewell message from Samsung says thanks to customers and also mentions Samsung phone models that will be affected by the termination of S Voice Service.

Samsung replaced S Voice Service with the release of Bixby in Galaxy S8.

According to Samsung, the S Voice can be upgraded to Bixby on Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Active, however, update for Gear S3 and Gear Sport is on its way and will be available after June 1.
