Listening to FM broadcasts

1. Compatibility & Hardware Requirements

● Hardware Limitation: The FM Radio feature requires a built-in FM chip. Many modern flagship devices do not include this chip. If you cannot find the FM Radio app on your device, it is likely not supported by your hardware.

● Antenna Requirement: A wired headset must be connected to your phone to act as the radio antenna.

● Headset Types: Bluetooth headsets cannot function as an antenna. You must use a standard 3.5mm wired headset. If your phone only has a Type-C port, ensure you are using a compatible Type-C headset or a certified 3.5mm to Type-C adapter, as some digital Type-C adapters may not transmit the analog radio signal.
