Auracast on the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro

Auracast allows you to create your own broadcast channels that can be shared with others. It’s similar to a radio broadcast! Your friends can join your broadcast using their Galaxy Buds3 or Galaxy Buds3 Pro; or, you can join their channels using your own buds and listen in on their podcasts and music. You can also set up passwords for your broadcast channels, so unwanted guests won’t be able to join.
