Google assistant has a music identification feature now (up until recently it did not).
Now is still there, but the search feature that used to be on the launcher is just a web search now (can't do anything fancy with it anymore, that's reserved for Assistant).
Pixel 2 has a music identifier that is always listening and will place what song is playing on your lock screen. It does this with a local database and does not send audio data to Google.

- komali2 9y agoWait really? I still use my launcher for all my things, because it has more "voice commands" than the Assistant.
- agildehaus 9y agoI'm wrong actually. Just checked and it still works as before if you use the mic icon. That icon is now an extra tap away, however.
