I wish every Android phone had Samsung’s Separate App Sound feature. Here’s how it works

Modern Samsung smartphones include a feature called "Separate App Sound," which allows users to direct audio from specific applications to different audio sources. This means users can play music from apps like YouTube Music through a Bluetooth speaker while keeping notification alerts routed through the phone’s built-in speaker. To enable this feature, users need to open the Settings app, tap on Sounds and vibrations, scroll to the bottom, select Separate app sound, toggle it on, choose the apps to configure, and decide the audio output for those apps. This feature was introduced with the Galaxy S8 series in 2017 and is often overlooked. It can enhance user experience by preventing interruptions from notifications during activities like hosting friends or driving. Other Android brands do not offer a similar functionality.

Windows 11 tests shared Bluetooth audio support, but only for AI PCs

Microsoft is testing a "shared audio" feature on Copilot+ PCs that utilizes Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast technology, allowing simultaneous audio streaming to two Bluetooth devices. This feature is part of Windows 11 Build 26220.7051 (KB5067115) and can be activated through quick settings. Currently, it is compatible with select PCs, including various models of Surface laptops and Surface Pro devices, and will expand to additional devices in the future, such as Samsung Galaxy Book models. Users will need compatible audio accessories to utilize the feature, which is being rolled out to Windows Insider Program participants in the Dev and Beta channels.
