Samsung Galaxy S10/Note 10 Android 10 update changed Dual Bluetooth Audio implementation

Samsung has improved a lot (literally!) when it comes to pushing regular and timely security updates. In fact, it has become the fastest to push the February 2020 security patchset, even before Google itself.

Matter of fact, previously the Korean OEM has pushed in quite a few beta updates before rolling out the stable Android 10 based One UI 2.0 updates for its devices.

And it seems like there has been some alteration done to the already existing features as well apart from bringing new features with the One UI 2.0 (Android 10).

You can find dozens of user reports reporting about the missing ‘Dual Bluetooth Audio’ feature on the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 smartphones right after stable Android 10 (One UI 2.0) updates.

For those who do not know, dual Bluetooth audio feature on Samsung Galaxy devices allows the user to get output from two Bluetooth connected speakers simultaneously. Note that this feature is limited to Galaxy devices with Bluetooth 5.0.

And there are users who were unable to find this feature on their Galaxy Note 10 and S10 devices. You can read some of the user’s reports below:

Is anyone else missing this feature when upgrading to Android 10? I’ve looked in advanced settings and also used the search feature within settings.

After the Android 10 update, I wasn’t able to find the Bluetooth Dual Audio settings under Advanced. I tried to find a way to have my phone automatically connect to my car’s Bluetooth when it is already connected to my Diesel On smartwatch. It only connects to my car’s Bluetooth device when I’m not wearing my smartwatch.
