How can I see if my phone has an IR Blaster? 😁
That's probably the reason why there aren't any truly good apps out there. Similar to how phones don't even have radio antenas anymore. I miss being able to use my old phone with a speaker for the drive in theater. Had to get a new radio Bluetooth speaker to replace it.
@Riven Probably phones without headphone jacks are those that can no longer be used as regular FM radios - as the antenna was actually the headset (at least that's my experience) - and another reason why phones without the jack suck. Never had a phone with a built-in FM antenna FWIW.
But yea, I do get your point. Phones could do so much more than accessing Facebook, Instagram and posting photos there or something like that.
Not just those, iirc it's some sort of chip that is no longer put into phones cause of money reasons. I've only owned phones with a jack slot and my current phone doesn't have fm capabilities, I've checked.
@Riven Yea, it also needs the software. Here in Romania, every phone I've owned had an FM Radio app preinstalled, including the current one. Didn't try any jackless phone to see if it's there as well, and if yes, how does it work.
