One UI 8.5 adds a more prominent Audio broadcast option in Galaxy phones' Connected Devices menu, surfacing Samsung's Bluetooth LE Audio sharing tool to more users.
Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast power the feature, allowing a phone to stream music or voice to any number of nearby listeners as long as they are within signal range.
Settings in the new menu let broadcasters name their device, add a password and choose media or voice, while listeners can join from a Listen tab or by scanning a QR code.
One UI 8.5 is already rolling out to more Galaxy devices worldwide, extending a feature Samsung is positioning for uses such as group listening and silent-disco-style sessions.
