Tap your home button to use this feature going forward or say "OK Google" and ask a question related to the app you're using. You can also access Google Now and its settings by swiping right on your screen.

Under Voice, you can enable or disable &#34;On Tap.&#34; <h2> Get Information About an Artist Band or Song </h2> Screenshot We gave Google Now on Tap a try, first by playing a song on Youtube Music (was Google's Play Music), though it will work in third-party music apps too. You'll get links to information about the song playing as well as the artist, with links to YouTube, IMDb, Facebook, Twitter, and other apps with relevant information.

<h2> Sometimes On Tap Gets It Wrong </h2> On our first Google Now on Tap attempt, I launched it in the Gmail app after I received a notification that a new episode of a podcast was available. The piece is titled &#34;The Golden Chicken, &#34; and Google Now pulled up information about a restaurant with that name rather than the podcast. <h2> And Sometimes There&#39 s Nothing </h2> It&#39;s also possible, though not easy, to stump Google Now on Tap with an obscure search or an app that it can&#39;t read, such as your photo gallery.

Sometimes On Tap Gets It Wrong

On our first Google Now on Tap attempt, I launched it in the Gmail app after I received a notification that a new episode of a podcast was available. The piece is titled "The Golden Chicken, " and Google Now pulled up information about a restaurant with that name rather than the podcast.

And Sometimes There' s Nothing

It's also possible, though not easy, to stump Google Now on Tap with an obscure search or an app that it can't read, such as your photo gallery.
