About this guide

Example: music from Spotify plays on a Bluetooth speaker, while videos and calls stay on the phone. The audio device must be different from your main output. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16, in Dark mode. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ.

Good to know

To move all sound at once, use Media output in the quick panel instead.

In short: Settings, Sounds and vibration, Separate app sound, Turn on now, choose App and Audio device.
