How to Connect Messenger Call to Bluetooth Speaker on Android

Connecting a Facebook Messenger call to a Bluetooth speaker on your Android device can enhance the audio quality and provide a hands-free experience during your conversation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting it up.

Step 1: Pair Your Bluetooth Speaker with Your Android Device

Before you can use your Bluetooth speaker for Messenger calls, you need to pair it with your Android device.

1. Turn on your Bluetooth speaker and make sure it’s in pairing mode. This usually involves holding down a specific button until a light flashes or a sound indicates it’s ready to pair.
2. On your Android device, go to Settings.
3. Tap on Connections or Connected devices, depending on your device.
4. Tap on Bluetooth and make sure it is turned on.
5. Your device will search for available Bluetooth devices. Find your speaker on the list and tap on it to pair.
6. If prompted, confirm the pairing on both your Android device and the Bluetooth speaker.

Step 2: Set Bluetooth Speaker as the Audio Output for Calls

After pairing, your Android device should automatically connect to the Bluetooth speaker for audio output. If not, follow these steps:

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings panel.
2. Tap on the Bluetooth icon if it’s not already enabled.
3. Tap and hold the Bluetooth icon to open the Bluetooth settings.
4. Find your paired Bluetooth speaker from the list of connected devices.
5. If it’s not already connected, tap on it to establish a connection.

Some devices offer a more direct way to set the audio output. During the call, you might see an audio source button on your screen (often depicted by a speaker or Bluetooth icon). Simply tap it and choose your Bluetooth speaker from the list.

Step 3: Initiate or Answer a Messenger Call

Now that your Bluetooth speaker is connected, you can start using it with Messenger calls:

1. Open the Messenger app on your Android device.
2. Make a call or answer an incoming Messenger call as you normally would.
3. Once the call has started, you should hear the audio through your Bluetooth speaker.
4. If the audio is still coming from your phone, look for an audio output option on the call screen. It usually looks like a speaker or Bluetooth icon. Tap on it and choose your Bluetooth speaker to transfer the audio.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while trying to connect the call to your Bluetooth speaker, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure the Bluetooth speaker has enough battery charge.
• Ensure that the Bluetooth speaker is not connected to another device.
• Restart the Bluetooth feature on your Android device by turning it off and then back on.
• Restart your Android device and the Bluetooth speaker, then try pairing again.
• Check if your Messenger app is updated to the latest version.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to enjoy a Messenger call through your Bluetooth speaker. This setup not only improves the audio quality but also offers a more comfortable and flexible calling experience. Remember to ensure that your devices are compatible and that both your Android device and Bluetooth speaker are adequately charged to avoid any mid-call interruptions.
