10 Hidden Features of Smartphones To Change Your Daily Life

5. Identify Songs Instantly Without an App

Ever heard a song playing and wanted to know what it was without scrambling for an app? Your smartphone can recognize music with built-in tools. For iPhone users, Siri can instantly identify songs—just say, “Hey Siri, what song is this?” it will listen and display the title and artist. On Android, Google Assistant offers the same functionality. Simply ask, “What’s this song?” and it will analyze the audio and give you the details. If you use a Google Pixel, there’s an always-on music recognition feature that identifies songs playing around you and displays them on your lock screen—no need even to ask!
