Galaxy buds 3 pro

shades6988 — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 23:05:55 GMT

After upgrading from the S23 Ultra and using the GB3 Pro with the S26 Ultra, I can't find the option to read notifications out loud anymore or any other settings that deals with ear buds. I have clicked the set up ear buds below and it quickly pops up downloading software and quckly disappears.

Can someone please point me into the right direction.

You need the wear app

This is what it says in the wearable app.

While they're connected, swipe down to your quick settings and long press the volume bar. It'll open all the controls.

Okay that worked for the active noise canceling. But I'm still unable to find the read out loud notifications.

Sorry, I didn't have my buds in front of me and forgot that it doesn't open the full setting. Go to Bluetooth settings. Click the gear icon next to your buds. Go down to advanced features. And it's in there.

I uhhhh… are your ear buds updated? Because this is what my settings menu(s) looks like.

Nvm. I just refreshed my memory and reread your post. It's weird that they won't update.

I'd recommend you contact samsung or upgrade to the new ones.

UPDATE: I am guessing that Samsung has pushed out an update, and I was able to download the Galaxy Buds3 Pro Manager app that now allows me to use read-out-loud notifications. Thank you all for the help.

I think it's actually in the good lock sound assistant app...

I have the same issue. So **bleep** frustrating. Samsung customer service is useless at this point
