Headsets with support for broadcasting audio are coming this year, so Google is preparing to add a dedicated audio sharing page in Android 15

tl;dr from the article:

  • Auracast is a feature of the Bluetooth LE Audio standard that enables broadcasting audio to nearby devices.
  • Android added basic support for Bluetooth LE Audio in Android 13, including support for starting and connecting to audio streams.
  • Android 15 could get a dedicated page for audio sharing, signaling that Auracast could be a key feature of the new OS.

Screenshots from the article of how the feature would look like:

    You should probably switch to another manifacturer for a future phone if updates take so long. Android 14 was released for Google Phones on 4.10.2023 an “Google verified” Android versions get early access to the code too.

    GrapheneOS is on Android 14 roughly since that time

      I have a galaxy s21 ultra, they’re still releasing updates and phone works flawlessly though, so you can understand my want to not switch yet.
