YouTube Music for Android is getting a Shazam-like feature. It will allow users to search for music by humming, whistling, or singing a song or melody. The company has been testing the feature since March.

To use the search function, all you have to do is tap the search icon on the top-right corner of the YouTube Music app for Android. Then, tap the waveform icon next to the microphone button.

After tapping the waveform, quickly hum or sing the music you want to look form. The app should quickly look for the music and show you the title, artist, cover art, and even other details like the year it was released.

The feature uses a similar technology to the Pixel phones’ Now Playing feature, which utilizes AI to match the sound it’s hearing to the original music.

Android users will get the update on version 7.02 of the YouTube Music app while the release for the iOS version is yet to be known.
