Have you ever struggled to find a song you’re curious about? Many of us turn to apps like Shazam or try to find that stuck-in-our-head track using our impressive vocal skills. When successful, we usually start listening on YouTube Music. However, the company is planning to streamline this process. YouTube is releasing a new update that will allow users to search for songs by singing them into their phone. Here are the details…
YouTube Update Lets You Search for Songs by Singing Them Into Your Phone
Even though YouTube is one of the largest video viewing platforms in the world, it continues to acquire new features. For instance, we recently mentioned the ‘Spotlight Moments’ feature, which allows you to see more user and event-focused ads on special occasions. Now, YouTube is releasing a new update that lets users search for songs by singing them into their phone.
This feature is similar to the “hum to search” feature that is already available on the Google app and Google Assistant, but it will be integrated directly into the YouTube app. To use the feature, users will simply need to tap on the microphone icon in the YouTube search bar and then sing, hum, or whistle the tune of the song they are looking for.
YouTube will then use AI technology to match the tune to the original recording and return a list of results. The feature is currently only available to a small number of Android users in beta testing, but it is expected to be rolled out to all Android users in the coming weeks. There is no word yet on when it will be released for iOS.
