Having Trouble Recalling a Song? YouTube Music’s New ‘Hum To Search’ Feature Can Assist You

Have you ever found yourself with a song stuck in your head and can’t remember the name or the lyrics? This frustration can leave you restless. While Android users already have the ability to search for songs by humming, Google has extended this feature to YouTube, allowing users to find songs even if they don’t remember certain details.

YouTube Music has added a new search option to help users find songs in the app more easily. According to 9to5Google, when you activate the search function, a new “Song” tab will appear in addition to the existing “Voice” tab. Android users can now search for a song in the app by playing, singing or even humming. According to the report, YouTube uses artificial intelligence (AI) to match the music to the original soundtrack.

Meanwhile, several Reddit users have also spotted the feature, with one confirming that it will be available on iOS, according to Gadgets360. This suggests that the feature will be rolled out to both Android and iOS apps at the same time. However, since many users haven’t used the feature yet, it’s assumed that the wider rollout hasn’t started yet, or that it will be phased in and take a few days to roll out to everyone.

Using the Hum-To-Search feature in YouTube Music

– To use the newly added search feature, users need to click on the search symbol in the upper right corner.

– The search button next to the voice search option is also available to users.

– Users now have to select song search.

– After that, they can hum, whistle or sing a tune for 10-15 seconds.

– When YouTube Music is ready, it creates potential hits.

Additionally, Android users using the YouTube app can simply go to the search bar and select the microphone icon to open a new screen with Audio and Vocal tabs. The Speech tab allows users to perform voice searches, while the Music tab allows them to hum a song, play it on another device, or sing along so that the AI can match it to the original song.

Last week, YouTube added ten new countries to its paid membership service, YouTube Premium. These countries include Libya, Morocco, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Réunion, Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe, so the paid service is available in a total of 100 countries.
