Circle to Search grew to become one of Android’s most essential features. Unlike other Google AI tools, Circle to Search isn’t held back by system requirements or exclusivity. It’s available on basically every Android phone running the latest software. In fact, Circle to Search is also available on iPhones via the Google and Chrome apps. Initially touted as a way to identify and search the content on your Android phone screen by searching it, the Circle to Search tool can now do much more than that.<\/p>\n

One of the feature’s more underrated capabilities is its ability to recognize music. Similar to third-party apps like Shazam, Circle to Search can identify songs playing in your environment. It can even detect and recognize songs playing directly from your device, or name the song you can only hum with basic chords. Here are the three ways to name that song using Circle to Search you probably haven’t tried before.<\/p>\n

The oval-shaped Circle to Search user interface now includes quite a few functions. As a refresher, touch and hold the navigation bar on your Android phone to surface it. Then, you’ll have a search bar, a dictation button, a music note button, and a translation button. You can also tap or circle any area of your screen to search it. For this exercise, we’re focusing on that music note.<\/p>\n

Tapping the music note button lets you instantly identify songs using Google Search. However, you might not know that Circle to Search can also recognize music playing from your device. If you’re hearing a song you don’t recognize in a streaming or social app, you can activate Circle to Search and ask it to identify the name of the artist in that track.<\/p>\n
