Android adds Auracast support, which allows hearing means to communicate with public audio broadcasting

Google Declare On Thursday, Android phones will soon support Auracast, which is a new Bluetooth technology that uses a phone to enable direct contact with audio broadcasts in noisy environments.

With Auracast, compatible hearing devices and ear headphones can receive direct sound flows, such as the Palestinian Authority system at a train station or audio broadcast at a concert. Google indicates that hearing aids can be applied to this broadcast, which means that users can customize flows to hear them.

At launch, the feature comes to Samsung Galaxy phones with UI 7 and Google Pixel 9 phones that work on the latest version of Android 16. The feature works with compatible audio audio devices, including companies like GN Health and Starkey.

Google has also announced that Pixel 9 can now contact broadcasting through QR codes, which remove the need to go to their settings when trying to reach public broadcast.

The latest Android 16 experimental version also brings a new access feature that allows low -vision users to determine the text for the text to facilitate reading. It also includes the local network protection feature (LNP) that Google says that “users are more controlled by applications that applications can access devices on their local network.”

Android 16 is expected to be launched at some point in June.
