Meanwhile Google-owned YouTube has announced that it is testing a new feature on Android that will allow users to search for a song on the platform by humming.
“We’re experimenting with the ability for folks to search for a song on YouTube by humming or recording a song that’s currently being played,” the company said on the ‘YouTube test features and experiments’ page.
Users in the experiment can toggle from YouTube voice search to the new song search feature, and hum or record the song they are searching for over three seconds in order for the song to be identified.
Once the song is identified, users will see relevant official music content, user-generated videos and Shorts featuring the searched song in the YouTube app.
“This experiment is rolling out to a small percentage of people across the globe who watch YouTube on Android devices,” the company said.
Earlier this month, the platform had announced that it started testing artificial intelligence (AI) auto-generated summaries.
