American tech giant Google might soon start letting users pick from cast devices when using the audio output switcher on Android 13.
According to ANI, the news was shared by Esper’s Mishaal Rahman.
The output switcher, which was first introduced in Android 11, currently only lets users swap between media playback sessions on paired Bluetooth devices, such as wireless headphones or a speaker.
However, an update to the Google Cast SDK (software development kit), suggests that Android 13’s output switcher could allow for local-to-remote, remote-to-local, and remote-to-remote transfers.
As pointed out by Rahman, “local” refers to transfers involving paired Bluetooth devices, while “remote” refers to cast devices.
This should let users seamlessly transfer media sessions from their phone to a smart display and back again using the audio output switcher from their lock screen.
