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.

          Jor, Samsung hat von allen die schlimmste Bloat/Spyware und die Geräte sind absichtlich nicht reparierbar und erlauben custom androids die Sicherheitsfeatures nicht…

            I bought my Samsung carrierless, there has been ZERO bloat ware on it. I’ve also had this phone fixed THREE TIMES from stuff I BROKE on it. The screen, the microphone, and the camera. Hands down the best, and longest phone I’ve ever owned.
