How to use Separate App Sound on your Samsung phone
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung phones feature a hidden audio tool called "Separate App Sound," which allows users to play audio from specific apps through different audio outputs, such as Bluetooth speakers or the phone's built-in speaker.
- To enable Separate App Sound, users navigate to Settings > Sounds and vibrations > Separate app sound, then toggle it on, select apps, and choose the preferred audio output for each.
- This feature, introduced with the Galaxy S8 in 2017, is useful for scenarios like playing music on a Bluetooth speaker while keeping notifications and calls on the phone speaker, or separating work call audio from other app sounds.
- Despite its usefulness, Separate App Sound remains relatively unknown and is exclusive to Samsung devices, with no similar functionality available on other Android brands
