Facebook is listening.
The social network released a
Shazam-like update to its mobile app Wednesday that allows you to
automatically identify, using your phone’s microphone, the song or TV
show you’re watching in Facebook posts.
The optional feature uses
audio-recognition technology to match the title, album and artists of
millions of songs and up to 160 channels of television programming. That
includes everything from the NCAA playoffs to the most recent episode
of Veep.

It works like this: When you begin to compose a status on your Android or iOS app,
you can choose to add what Facebook calls “a feeling” along with an
illustrative emoji for context. You’ve probably seen it in your feed
before, it’s sort of a subtext tagged onto the end of whatever a person
wants to say.
