Shazam now lets you identify music while wearing headphones, the Apple-owned company announced this week.
You can open up the Shazam app, click to Shazam and then head back to TikTok.
Or, say you’re wearing headphones in a coffeeshop and want to know what song is playing in the café.
It’s worth noting that Shazam already allowed users to identify songs playing in apps, as it rolled out the ability to identify songs on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok last year.
But up until now, you couldn’t do so if you were wearing headphones.
It’s also unclear if YouTube plans to support Vision Pro in the future.
However, this could change by the time Vision Pro launches on February 2.
The music streaming service isn’t making its iPad app available on the Vision Pro store either.
Spotify told us it couldn’t confirm the speculation about its app plans for the Vision Pro.
Apple explains that unless developers say they don’t want to participate, their iPad apps in the App Store will automatically appear in the Vision Pro store by default.
After laying off over 1,000 workers across divisions last week and cutting 100 jobs at YouTube, Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a memo to its staff warning more layoffs are expected this year.
Pichai’s memo said the company will have to make “tough choices” to meet its ambitious goals, as reported by The Verge.
But I know it’s very difficult to see colleagues and teams impacted,” he said in an email to staffers.
At the time, the company also confirmed to TechCrunch that Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman were leaving the organisation.
On Wednesday, Google laid off 100 YouTube staffers as part of reorganisation.
Yet another series of layoffs has hit Google, this time at its video-sharing platform, YouTube.
The company will eliminate 100 employees, a spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch.
Last week, Google laid off more than 1,000 workers across several divisions, including engineering, services and voice-activated product Google Assistant.
“As we’ve said, we’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead,” a Google spokesperson said in a provided statement.
“We’re continuing to support any impacted employees as they look for new roles here at Google and beyond,” the spokesperson added.
YouTube is updating its harassment and cyberbullying policies to clamp down on content that “realistically simulates” deceased minors or victims of deadly or violent events describing their death.
The policy change comes as some true crime content creators have been using AI to recreate the likeness of deceased or missing children.
In these disturbing instances, people are using AI to give these child victims of high profile cases a childlike “voice” to describe their deaths.
In recent months, content creators have used AI to narrate numerous high-profile cases including the abduction and death of British two-year-old James Bulger, as reported by the Washington Post.
TikTok’s policy allows it to take down realistic AI images that aren’t disclosed.
The top YouTuber in the U.S., MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) co-founded the new analytics platform ViewStats, which is now available in beta.
Similar to tools like Socialblade, ViewStats uses the YouTube API to unveil detailed stats about channels that both creators and their fans can see.
So, if he thinks certain metrics are a must-have for an analytics platform, they’re probably important.
Founded alongside Chucky Appleby, a creator who works with MrBeast, ViewStats is differentiating itself with this star power.
Appleby said that the platform will add more tools in the future, including thumbnail analytics tools.
