How Does the Android 13 Feature for Spotify Works
For example, if you are listening to a podcast in your car. You can easily switch to listening on headphones when you arrive at your destination. And then switch back to your TV or a speaker when you return home. This technology uses three layers. These layers detect and connect to nearby devices using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and UWB (Ultra-Wide Band).
The system automatically identifies the capabilities of those devices, and adjust the system based on your interactions with them. This should be a very interesting innovation for Android smartphone users. Since it is already available on Google platforms such as YouTube Music, we hope to see this on other audio streaming platforms.
As stated earlier, this feature is an Android 13 exclusive feature. Which basically means, if you are on any Android version older than Android 13, you may have to upgrade in order to enjoy this feature.
