Since Google introduced the ‘Circle to search‘, this tool has become one of the most interesting (and useful!) tools based on Google’s artificial intelligence. “Circle to search” has continued to improve in recent months, adding new possibilities such as instant translation of texts, recognition of images created with generative AI, among other functions.
Now, “Circle to Search” has added another new feature to its list of superpowers: can identify songs in best Shazam style
Here’s how music identification works with “Circle to Search”
So far, one of the most popular methods to identify a song using your mobile is to use an application like Shazam, but Google has introduced this function directly in its mobile application and also in Google Assistant.
NOW, Song identification is also available in “Circle to search”
- Press and hold the navigation bar until “Circle to Search” is enabled
- Press the new music note shaped button
This feature allows you to identify the music that is playing on your mobile and also around you. In addition, can also identify a song if the user sings or hums a melody.

The music recognition feature with ‘Circle to search’ comes almost by surprise in the latest update of the Google app for Android (version 15.32.37.28). This feature is coming first to some Samsung Galaxy phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S23, but it should arrive very soon on all devices compatible with ‘Circle to search’. This is a rolling update, which means it will take a few days or weeks to reach all users around the world.
