The YouTube app is preparing to increase competition with Shazam, the app owned by Apple, which allows users to discover songs somewhere and like them, but they forget to add them to their playlists through melodies and song tones.
Android users will have the opportunity to test the ability to search for songs before they are released to other YouTube users. The YouTube app allows users to listen and record the melody of the affiliated video from Google to search for the song.
YouTube’s website stated in its blog that if you are experimenting, you can convert voice search on YouTube into a feature for searching for new songs, then play or record the song you are looking for for more than 3 seconds until the song is recognized.
Similar features for music recognition are available on third-party apps like Soundhound and Musixmatch, but this new feature on YouTube can be used by leveraging the huge global user base of around 2.7 billion users.
YouTube’s tests for its latest features to improve its app for users and content creators are familiar. Currently, the platform is making some modifications to the design of its “skip ads” button, in addition to adding rounded corners to the video player.
