"Bluetooth LE Audio is the Bluetooth protocol that supports Bluetooth Auracast, which is the audio-sharing technology. If your headphones and smartphone support Auracast, you can share audio with friends. Auracast allows one device to broadcast audio to an infinite number of Auracast-supported audio receivers, so you can privately share your phone's audio with one friend or with a group of friends. Whatever audio plays on your phone -- music, movies, podcasts, TikTok, or YouTube videos -- will broadcast into your friends' headphones."
"Once you begin an audio broadcast on your phone, your friends can join by scanning your phone's broadcast QR code or via Google Fast Pair. Bluetooth Auracast is limited to select smartphones, including the Google Pixel 8 and newer, and the Samsung Galaxy S23, S24, and S25. The Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 7 also support the feature. Select Xiaomi and Poco phones also support LE Audio Auracast, although these phones are not directly supported by US carriers."
Android expands Bluetooth LE Audio (Auracast) support to additional smartphones and headphones, enabling direct audio sharing across more brands and models. Auracast lets one device broadcast audio to an infinite number of supported receivers, so a phone’s music, movies, podcasts, TikTok, or YouTube audio can play in multiple friends’ headphones. Listeners can join a broadcast by scanning a broadcast QR code or using Google Fast Pair. Supported devices include Google Pixel 8 and newer and select Samsung Galaxy S23, S24, S25 and Z Fold 5–7 models, plus some Xiaomi and Poco phones. Both the phone and headphones must support Auracast.
