Google has released the first developer preview of Android 16, offering a glimpse of next year’s big update. One notable addition is Audio Sharing, a feature initially seen in early Android 15 previews but now live in Android 16 DP1. It allows users to broadcast audio to multiple devices via Bluetooth LE Audio’s Auracast technology, without the need for pairing.
Audio Sharing can be enabled on supported devices (Pixel 8 and later, excluding Pixel 8a) under Settings > Connected devices > Audio sharing. Users can customize the stream name, set a password and optimize compatibility for certain devices like hearing aids, though this may reduce audio quality.
The feature works with Auracast-compatible devices, such as Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and is expected to encourage broader adoption across Android.
