Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR 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.
