Hi all. How can I listen to the radio on my phone without headphones please? Is there an app or little speaker I could buy?
Many thanks

If the phone has an inbuilt FM radio then they usually use the cable from the earpieces as an antenna.
If so then you could look into a cheap pair of wired speakers.
If the phone does no have an inbuilt FM radio then their is usually things like the BBC iPlayer Radio app or something like:
"Radioplayer" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.radioplayer&hl=en_GB
Then play it through bluetooth speakers or headphones as required.Laters

Remember that if you use an internet radio app like iplayer or tunein radio then you're using data.0

This might be a really radical suggestion, but portable radios (of various sizes) exist with speakers, and headphones as an option!
Or is that suggestion so pre-millennial?0 -

It is not so much that the suggestion is pre-millennial but it involves carrying around an extra device.YNWA

If you connect your earphones, so the phone can use them as an antenna , then you can choose in the fm radio options to output the sound through your phones speaker instead of the connected earphones .
You still need to leave them connected though
Hope this helps
