Just tried it out on my throwaway Android. Wow, this actually works really well!
As I write this from my iPhone, this might singlehandedly be the reason why I switch to a Pixel instead of another iPhone this fall. I was always disappointed that even after acquiring Shazam, Siri could never seem to correctly guess what song was playing unless I had a perfect recording.
Anytime I go to a live concert venue, or even a club, I never can get a recognizable song from my phone. Live music I could maybe sort of understand, but the club part failing was always weird to me, because besides a little bit of distortion, the song being played is coming directly out of a speaker. It shouldn’t be that hard right?
- valbaca 6y agoWorks just fine on iOS. This isn't Android specific
- rubatuga 6y agoLol, you're assuming this couldn't just be a web application with microphone access.
- LeoPanthera 6y agoIt works just fine in the Google Search iOS app.
- partingshots 6y agoWhat app are you using? I tried “what song is this”, and it just directs me to a search result on my iPhone.
- LeoPanthera 6y agoMine has a "search a song" button that appears after tapping the microphone button.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoSame here, and I have no "search a song" button after hitting the microphone edit: now the button does show up. Tried humming "Peter and the wolf" and it failed.

- _drimzy 6y agoThere is an update available to the Google app. It worked for me once I updated the app.
- codetrotter 6y agoThe Google search app named “Google” on iOS 13.7, iPhone X. Norway. The button is there for me, and hum to search works. Screenshot: https://snipboard.io/ITZN9A.jpg https://snipboard.io/ITZN9A.jpg When I first installed the app after reading the article, to test it out, I couldn’t find it even when I pressed the microphone symbol. But after rereading the article I installed it again and when I went and tapped the microphone I saw the Search a song button.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoWeird, now I see the button. "Google" on iOS 13.7, asia Immediately after updating, there was no button. Maybe something changed on their end or something needed to sync in my phone.
- bemmu 6y agoSame for me. When the news broke, despite getting the latest app there was no button, but now there is (Japan).
- partingshots 6y agoNice! It showed up after I reinstalled it. If I end up wanting to do so, is there a way to potentially replace Siri with Google somehow in the settings?
- tyre 6y agoSiri does this too, at least on my HomePod. It's almost spookily accurate
- HJain13 6y agoThis is probably cross platform; But what is not cross platform is the "Now Playing" feature of Pixels, that enables ambient songs matching in the background (without the use of internet, you can confirm with airplane mode). It keeps a list of songs that it identifies as well... Also the recorder app, which is the bomb (transcribing without internet, searchable, editing (cuts and joins audio) and creating a video with transcription). Cool stuff
- brummm 6y agoDidn't apple just demo the same thing in their event this week? Might not have to use the google app at all.
