Galaxy S26 Update Ditches Hey Plex Voice Trigger

TL;DR Summary
Samsung's Galaxy S26 initially offered a Hey Plex voice trigger for the Perplexity app, but the first software update appears to remove that option, preventing Hey Plex from launching Perplexity. The phone now supports only two on-screen assistants via voice (Bixby and Gemini), with no clear explanation for the change and uncertainty about whether the app or the system updated this feature.
