Have you ever heard a song while in a store and wondered what the title or artist was? In the past, you’d often need to install an app like Shazaam to figure it out, but the Pixel 4 can do it automagically with its Now Playing feature. The phone will automatically pick up on music that’s playing around you and store the name of the track and artist in a list for easy reference.
To turn the feature on, go to Settings > Sound > Now Playing and switch the Show songs on lock screen to the on position. From this screen, you’ll also be able to access the Now Playing History which will have a timestamp of the songs that the phone identified. If you’d like, there’s also an option to add a shortcut to the list form the Homescreen if it’s something you’ll be accessing on a regular basis.
