Move over, Shazam — YouTube is working on a new song-identifying feature in its mobile app that’ll let users search for songs by humming. Sometimes, the best way to get a song out of your head is to just listen to it, and if you can only remember the melody of a song, it can be almost impossible to find it. This experimental YouTube feature would save you from going crazy all day with an unidentifiable melody repeating in your head.
Unfortunately, YouTube only rolled out this song-identifying feature to a small percentage of Android users on August 22, 2023. Most Android users and all iPhone users will have to wait a little bit until the feature is fully worked out. Read on for more details on how the technology works, and how to see if you’re part of the small experiment group.
