Android has had music identification since at least the Nexus 4. Maybe it was 'built in' to the assistant now, but it's been around forever. All you have to do

Android has had music identification since at least the Nexus 4. Maybe it was 'built in' to the assistant now, but it's been around forever.
All you have to do is hold up voice search to music.
- nerflad 9y agoWow, I've been using Android since 2012 and I had no idea about that. Thanks!
- ehsankia 9y agoThis is very different. It runs 24/7 aongside the "ok google" detection, and as soon as it detects a song, it'll show the name on the lockscreen. So normally, all you have to do is look at your phone to get the song name [0]. This is also done 100% locally, there's a offline database of 10k+ songs which is only ~50mb [1], and gets updated regularly.

- IgorPartola 9y agoThat is impressive.
- afro88 9y agoNow it all makes sense. This is a killer feature
- ksec 9y agoIs this US / Regional Specific? I have never seen this working anywhere in Asia.
- metahost 9y agoWorks in India for me. I'm on Android Oreo (OnePlus 3).
- radiorental 9y agoIs this something you have to switch on? Oneplus3t here, I am not aware of this feature. Thanks
- actuator 9y agoNope, as far as I can tell. You have to enable it in settings though. This seems to be one of the best features that Pixel 2 came with.
- sorenjan 9y agoIn the US.
- SCdF 9y agoNo, everywhere. Or at least, also in NZ and the UK and a bunch of countries around Europe.
