Only works for English songs. I searched for a Pakistani song as famous as national anthem ("dil dil Pakistan"). It couldn't find it. I was thinking it learns the tune of song and matches with that so language should not matter. It worked for "Desert Rose" though. Edit: Also worked for an Indian song. Also worked for few other recent famous Pakistani songs. I guess the first song that I searched is probably not liste…

I tried a couple of pop songs from spain from the nineties (not known internationally at all) and it worked.

Tried a bunch of Indian (and not even Bollywood) songs, worked just fine. Seems to use YT / Google Music content as a reference.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It works just fine in the Google Search iOS app.

What app are you using? I tried “what song is this”, and it just directs me to a search result on my iPhone.

There is an update available to the Google app. It worked for me once I updated the app.

The Google search app named “Google” on iOS 13.7, iPhone X. Norway.

The button is there for me, and hum to search works.

When I first installed the app after reading the article, to test it out, I couldn’t find it even when I pressed the microphone symbol.

But after rereading the article I installed it again and when I went and tapped the microphone I saw the Search a song button.

There's a video of a streamer saying 'hey google, play the mexican doot doot song' and it plays, and this reminds me of that. Unfortunately I can't find the video because I think google strips out 'hey google' even when you're specifically searching for the phrase 'hey google'.

Only available on mobile, huh? Reminds me of Google Translate on photos/images, which has been available for years on mobile but never on web. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

The reverse is frustrating also: no reverse image search on mobile.
