Google has added Song Search history to Circle to Search on Android, allowing users to view their recent music searches in an organized grid format. The feature, which was previously available only on iOS, provides a more visual way to track music identification history compared to the existing text-based activity log.
What you should know: The new history feature appears as a clock icon in the top-right corner of Circle to Search’s music interface.
- After tapping the music icon in Circle to Search, users can access “Recent song searches” showing cover art, song titles, artists, and search dates.
- The grid displays 10 results grouped by month, with an option to view full history in Google’s My Activity page.
- Clicking on any song entry opens a Google Search results page for that track.
How it works: The Song Search history integrates seamlessly with Circle to Search’s existing music identification capabilities.
- Users can access the feature both through Circle to Search and the dedicated “Song Search” app shortcut.
- The visual grid format makes it easier to recognize previously searched songs compared to the text-only My Activity page.
- Google first introduced this feature to iOS users in February before bringing it to Android.
Availability details: The Song Search history is rolling out through Google app version 16.27 on both beta and stable channels.
- Users who don’t see the feature yet can try force-stopping the Google app from App info settings.
- The update represents Google’s continued expansion of Circle to Search functionality, following recent additions like AI Mode and gaming help features.
