Google 's Pixel phones feature Now Playing can identify background music from the lock screen.

It uses a cache of thousands of audio fingerprints to identify songs you might encounter in your daily grind.

Despite a large volume of online complaints, Google has seemingly dragged its feet.

Google has indicated that a fix is ready for deployment, and users can expect it in a future OS update.
