tl;dr from the article:

  • Auracast is a feature of the Bluetooth LE Audio standard that enables broadcasting audio to nearby devices.
  • Android added basic support for Bluetooth LE Audio in Android 13, including support for starting and connecting to audio streams.
  • Android 15 could get a dedicated page for audio sharing, signaling that Auracast could be a key feature of the new OS.

Screenshots from the article of how the feature would look like:

Well that means you dont get Updates anymore.

No it's that I'm on Lineage OS

Which is basically the same 😅

No just that they arrive much later and are stable, similar to Debian

I dont think security fixes are unstable. Google pushes those updates to Pixels and they never break.

Sorry but this is just a case of too slow security patches. It may not be very problematic for your threat model, and GrapheneOS is very secure here, but better safe than sorry

What I meant is that Android upgrades are slow 13->14 for example. Patches and fixes roll out every week, for my phone at least
