YouTube Music has just added a new feature that allows users to search for songs by humming them.
Android users can now find a waveform icon within the search section of the app for those of you trying to find a song title or artist’s name that you just can't remember.
The feature’s accuracy can change depending on how clearly you can hum the melody, which is bad news for those who can’t carry a tune.
A Gradual Rollout
The feature is exclusive to Android at the moment, with updates rolling out through the course of the year.
The tool's speed and relevant accuracy put it on par with other music-searching apps such as Shazam, Soundhound, and Google Assistant, all of which have had the feature for years.
You don't need to be @KidCudi to use Hum to Search. Hum a song into your Google app, and we'll identify it for you. Test it with your favorite songs, or use it to figure out the song that's been stuck in your head and find your new favorite. 🎶 pic.twitter.com/MluVNesTpE

This isn't Google's first time implementing this kind of feature, with humming being introduced to Google Search back in 2020.
Users will need to update the YouTube Music app to the latest version to use the humming feature.
