Google may finally stop forcing you to manually ask to ID songs (APK teardown)
No more hitting "Search a song" just to get started.
- Google offers several options for song ID on Android, but some currently require you to tell Google to listen for music.
- An in-progress change to the Google app would upgrade microphone input to automatically recognize songs.
- While it’s currently possible to preview this operation, the interface still requires a manual tap to complete.
You know what music sounds likes, don’t you? We may not always be able to recognize the exact song we’re hearing, or even name the artist, but at least we tend to know the difference between a song of some kind, and noise that isn’t a song at all. So why is it, in a world with powerful AI agents at our fingertips, sometimes we still need to manually tell Google that a song’s playing? Based on a new discovery, though, that may not be the case for much longer.
