Do you listen to free, over-the-airwaves, no internet required, FM radio, with your smartphone?
I have a Motorola Moto X4 and an older Moto G and they both came with an FM Radio app. It is great! You plug in your headphones and the wire acts as an antenna.
Almost all phones have an FM receiver built into their chip set, but it is not enabled in many phones.
I like that I can listen to the radio without using data or bandwidth, or telling Google, Verizon, or my cable company my listening habits.
Also if there were ever a disaster a working, over the air waves, FM radio would enable communication when networks were down.
Do you use this feature?
Does anyone know of an internal AM receiver or an app that will enable it? Can any phone receive National Weather Service radio broadcasts (162.xxx MHz) directly?
