- Samsung Galaxy smartphones on One UI 6 can now cast content easily to Chromecast/Google Cast-enabled devices.
- An experimental Labs setting now lets you enable Chromecast support on Galaxy smartphones.
- Previously, this setting was hidden and required a developer password to access it.
There is a confusing mess of protocols when it comes to screen mirroring and casting content. Between Google Cast/Chromecast, Miracast, and Apple AirPlay, users are left scratching their heads on what device supports what protocol and what they should prefer. Each of these protocols has pros and cons, but the lack of interoperability hurts consumers who aren’t deeply entrenched within one ecosystem. Samsung hopes to fix some of that pain with One UI 6, allowing Galaxy smartphones to officially support Chromecast without additional setup.
Sammobile has spotted that Samsung has made casting content from your Galaxy smartphone easier via Google Cast with the One UI 6 update. You can now easily enable screen mirroring by going to Settings > Connected Devices > Smart View, and then tap the three-dot icon and open Settings > Labs. Here there is a new setting for Chromecast support, which you can easily toggle on.
