To recognize and identify a specific song that is playing you can use applications such as Shazam or SoundHound, but they can also be recognized without using apps, for example, using the Google Assistant.
The function is available in Google Assistant on any Android phone and you can also install the assistant app on iPhone phones. You just have to follow this step by step so that Google Assistant can identify any song without obstacles.
Recognize songs with Google Assistant
– Pick up your phone and activate Google Assistant by saying “Ok, Google” or press the voice recognition button to talk to the assistant
– Now Assistant will be listening through the mobile microphone. Here you have two options, you can ask the assistant “Ok Google, what song is this?”, or press the “Search for a song” button that appears at the bottom of the screen.
– Once Google listens to the clue, it will give you the results of what it heard on a results page. It will reflect artist and song information, as well as a YouTube video if available.
Likewise, in some cases and depending on the availability of the title in question, you will receive links to search for the track on services such as Spotify and YouTube Music so that you can listen to it or add it to your playlist.
If there are problems with the Google Assistant tracking and it does not recognize the song, try again in a quieter space so that the mobile microphone does not pick up interference. You can also increase the speaker volume so that the assistant can accurately hear what you are playing and be able to recognize the song.
On the other hand, if you have a Pixel terminal, you can search for the song with the “Now Playing” option. This is a tool that detects music and recognizes it directly on the lock screen. It will not even be necessary to interact with the assistant.
