What Is Samsung Separate App Sound?

The Samsung Separate App Sound feature allows you to play music from your smartphone from one app to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones while still receiving notifications for calls, messages, and system alerts. For example, you may want to listen to music on your headphones, but you don’t want the music interrupted by a call. When the feature is on, you’ll still hear system sounds from your smartphone’s speakers, such as alarms and the ringtone to alert you of an incoming call, so you can pause playback yourself or ignore the call or alarm.
