Android users can identify songs with Gemini
Song recognition returns to Android through Gemini’s voice feature.
Google has updated its Gemini AI app for Android with a voice-activated song search feature, bringing back a capability once available through Google Assistant. Users can now simply ask Gemini ‘What song is this?’ to trigger the music recognition tool.
Once activated, Gemini launches Google’s Song Search using a full-screen interface that listens to ambient audio and displays a pulsing animation. If a match is found, results are shown via Google Search with the track’s details.
The feature improves on Gemini’s earlier version, which only suggested using external apps for music ID. It offers a streamlined alternative to Shazam for Android users, though the interface resets after each use.
Currently, this feature is exclusive to Android devices and not yet available for iPhone users. By integrating this tool, Google continues to unify useful voice functions under its Gemini AI platform.
