On their phones, users need to open the latest version of the Google Assistant app and can then tap the microphone icon. Google said the new feature is currently available in English on iOS, and in more than 20 languages on Android, and plans to expand this to more languages in the future.

In MailOnline's tests, the technology successfully identified 60 per cent of the songs hummed, sang or whistled into the Google Assistant mobile app. Without lyrics or even a perfect-pitch performance, the new tool will return potential matches and help the user identify the song that's been stuck in their head. Users just need to tap the microphone on the search bar on the Google Assistant app and say 'what's this song' or address their smart speakers by saying 'Hey Google, what's this song?' before reciting it to the best of their ability. The feature, which is available on smartphones and smart speakers that use Google Assistant, uses machine learning to identify potential song matches.

Google has launched a new feature for its smart voice 'Assistant' that lets you identify a song by simply humming, whistling or singing the tune.
