The days of needing to buy a guitar tuner or download an app for that are gone. Now, Google Search has added its own built-in tuner.
You type “Google tuner” into the search bar. The user interface is laid out with a microphone button, and it’ll let you know after strumming a tune if it needs to be tuned up or down.
The new built-in tuner can be used with any phone or a desktop or laptop computer.
Results vary, as they do with other guitar tuning apps, but the website Android Police says Google tuner worked on a Galaxy Z Fold3 and Pixel 5a cellphone. The Verge reported similar good results using an iPhone 12 Pro and a Windows desktop.
The Google Play store has a variety of guitar tuner apps, with many varying between 3.5- to 4.5-star reviews.
Having a way to tune your guitar quickly and easily over the phone or computer is convenient, though you might still have to deal with how to cut out background noise.
