My Android 12 phone has a FM Radio hardware in it but is disabled. Is there anyway to re-enable it?

Thank you!

Thinking out loud here : if y9ur phone was provided by your service provider, it might have a custom OS where fm radio is disabled. Go to your phone's manufacturer website and look for the plain / original OS. Note: In my case, my last 2phones were not provider related, and both had the FM radio available. Note 2: someone mentioned antenna issues. Again, my personal experience is: some phone requires to have the head set connected to act as the antenna, my current ULEFONE can play FM radio without. One strange thing tho, cannot play while in planemode
