- Gemini has finally received another long-awaited Google Assistant feature.
- The chatbot can now identify songs playing nearby using the Google app’s Song Search feature.
- Previously, Gemini would recommend using third-party music recognition apps when asked to identify a song.
Gemini lacked several Google Assistant features at launch, but steady updates from Google have brought it closer to being a comprehensive replacement for the legacy voice assistant. Now, with just a few months left until Gemini fully takes Google Assistant’s place on most Android phones, the chatbot has gained yet another long-awaited capability.
Google Assistant has long supported the ability to identify songs playing nearby. Until recently, Gemini did not support this feature and recommended third-party music recognition apps when asked to identify a song. However, 9to5Google reports that the chatbot has finally picked up the song search feature in recent weeks.
