Have you ever found yourself humming along to a catchy tune, but you can’t for the life of you remember who sings it? Well, fear not, because Siri has got your back. With a simple voice command, you can easily find out who’s behind your new favorite jam. Let’s cut to the chase and get down to business – here’s how you can use Siri to identify a song.
How to Use Siri to Find Out Who Sings a Song
Before we dive into the steps, let’s talk about what we’re going to do. We’re going to use Siri on your iPhone to recognize a song. It’s pretty much like having a music expert right in your pocket!
Step 1: Activate Siri
Say "Hey Siri" or hold down the Home or Side button on your device to activate Siri.
When you do this, Siri will pop up, ready to help you out. Just make sure you’ve got Siri enabled in your settings, or else you might be talking to yourself!
Step 2: Ask Siri about the song
Simply ask, "What song is this?" or "Who sings this song?" while the song is playing.
You’ll want to make sure the song is playing loud and clear, so Siri can hear it. It’s also a good idea to ask your question as soon as you activate Siri – we all know she can be a bit impatient.
Step 3: Wait for Siri to identify the song
Siri will listen to the song and use Shazam to identify it for you.
Shazam is like Siri’s cool friend who knows everything about music. So, when Siri doesn’t know something, she asks Shazam, and boom – you’ve got your answer.
After following these steps, Siri will tell you the title of the song and the artist who sings it. You can also tap on the result to view it in Apple Music or add it to your playlist. It’s like magic, but with technology!
Tips for Using Siri to Identify Songs
- Make sure your internet connection is strong – Siri needs it to look up the song.
- If there’s a lot of background noise, try to get closer to the source of the music.
- Don’t be shy to repeat your question if Siri doesn’t get it the first time.
- Remember that Siri might not be able to identify songs that are not in Shazam’s database.
- You can also use Siri to add the identified song to your Apple Music library.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if Siri can’t identify the song?
If Siri can’t find the song, it could be because it’s not in Shazam’s database or the background noise is too loud. Try again in a quieter environment or with a different song.
Can Siri identify songs that are humming or singing?
Unfortunately, Siri needs the actual song to be playing. She can’t identify a song from humming or singing. Not yet, at least!
Is there a limit to how many songs Siri can identify for me?
Nope, ask away! Siri is always ready to help you identify as many songs as you like.
Do I need an Apple Music subscription to use this feature?
No, you don’t need a subscription. Siri’s song identification works for everyone, but if you want to listen to the full song, you might need a subscription.
Can Siri identify songs in other languages?
Yes, Siri is quite the polyglot. She can identify songs in many different languages, as long as they are in Shazam’s database.
