Samsung Galaxy users are in for a treat, as the company is quietly rolling out a new music recognition capability to its Circle to Search feature. This Shazam-like functionality allows users to quickly identify songs playing on their device without the need for separate apps.

The exciting update was first spotted by a Reddit user who spotted the new option appearing on their Galaxy S23 devices. While availability is currently limited, the feature is expected to make its way to more Samsung phones in the coming weeks.
Circle to Search already lets users search for information about on-screen content with a simple gesture. Now it expands its repertoire to include music identification, making it even more versatile.
Using the new music search feature is a breeze. When a song is playing, users can activate Circle to Search by tapping the navigation bar or the home button. A new music icon will appear, which when tapped, will trigger the recognition process. Within seconds, the song details will appear, saving time and effort compared to opening dedicated music ID apps.
