iD

iD recognizes music and visual images, and lets you share the results with friends. Use it to discover songs and download mp3s, read lyrics or watch the videos. And use it to iD pictures and win prizes. It’s about music iDing, which everyone loves, but the added thrill of using the camera makes this way cooler.

iD’s ingenious mix of technologies activates media and brings things to life well beyond music, like posters, magazines, products and ads. Deepen your interaction, make your phone the key to surprises and unlock the innate possibilities of the world around you.

The iD app that millions of Verizon customers have enjoyed for years, massively updated and available now in Google Play for all network customers. This is the future, in your hand.

Like the music that’s playing? Press the iD button to find it instantly, and share the moment on Facebook, Twitter, or email. See some tasty album cover art? Slide the switch to visual mode and hit iD to learn more about it. Feeling lucky? Go to “iD to Win” and view the prizes on offer. We’re not talking virtual rewards, we’re talking Xboxes, Kindles, concert tickets, that kind of thing. You don’t have to pay us a cent to play, all you have to do is iD. Fancy a trip into uncharted territory? Visit our Lenses section and see what images have been activated around you. You could be shopping, sipping coffee, reading a magazine or watching a sports event, and the images you’re viewing could be tagged with digital content, special offers and rich metadata, but without iD, how would you know? So check out Lenses and see if there’s a way to unlock some magic.

“One of my favorite apps! You know when you are listening to a song and think - "I can't remember the name of this song or who sings it" -- With this awesome app, you can know in just moments! (Also, just recently won $25 Amazon Cash from one of their contests! I loved the app before the win, but that makes it that much sweeter!)”
-Jen, Verizon iD customer, April 2012

Please note, only images highlighted in the “iD to Win” and “Lenses” sections of the app will be recognized. We’re just getting started with this radical way of engaging with the visual world. Lots more content will soon be activated by a range of creative forces – brands, bands, movies, shows, magazine publishers and much more – and we will be adding it all to an increasingly vast database. Like iD on Facebook and we’ll keep you posted on new developments and on how you can activate your favorite images for iDing.

iD, the sensory browser of the physical world.

Notes on app permissions: Location (GPS) permissions are used to provide unique local experiences around iDing. GPS can be disabled in Settings if desired. Camera permissions are required for the new image recognition feature.
