- Widget shortcut: You can place a widget on your homescreen that allows you to quickly access Song Search.
- Search bar icon: Tapping the voice mic icon in the Search bar and selecting “Search a song” can also launch Song Search.
- Google Assistant/Gemini: You can use Google Assistant or Gemini to search for songs.
- Circle to Search: This feature allows you to search for songs by drawing a circle around the song title or lyrics.
- Shazam: Shazam offers a similar feature, while Apple’s app recently introduced the ability to long-press its Tile to quickly access your history.
