Android 15 DP2 introduces ‘Audio Sharing’ feature for shared listening experience

Google brings a new feature called Audio Sharing with Android 15 DP2. This new feature allows a device to broadcast audio to multiple Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. This is mainly useful for sharing music or videos with others without the need for additional things or hardware.

Audio sharing is made possible by advancements in Bluetooth technology, including the new Bluetooth LE Audio standard. One of the key benefits of this technology is “Auracast,” which can broadcast audio to several listeners at once. This has significant applications, such as helping individuals with hearing impairments or those requiring language translation services.

Currently, within Android 15’s settings, there is a section for “Audio sharing” that includes a toggle switch and a test sound feature. However, these are early versions and may not be fully operational.

As development progresses, the “Audio sharing” feature in Android 15 is expected to improve and offer a more user-friendly and inclusive audio experience.
