I have just got a new S10+ and tried to connect wireless headphones I had previously had connected to S9, I get a message saying "An app is required to use this device" any ideas on how to overcome?

@Stevielfc76 

I'd be surprised if it was required but maybe due to age of the headphones?

You'll need to choose an app that connects bluetooth to A2DP.

Search in Play store for one you like.

Alternatively, it might be a specific app for your headphones?
