Shazam Control Centre



Apple released the surprise first beta of iOS 14.2 to developers, just one day after iOS 14 was released to the general public. One of the new changes in iOS 14.2 is a brand new Shazam toggle that can be added to Control Center.

Dec 15, 2020 While Shazam is available as a standalone app for Android and iOS, Apple has now integrated it even more tightly with iOS. To use the Shazam shortcut, all you need to do is update your iPhone to iOS 14.2 (or iPad to iPadOS 14.2). Also, there’s no need to install the Shazam app on your device. Add Shazam Button to Control Centre on iPhone. Nov 28, 2020 To identify a song using Shazam, bring down the Control Centre by Swiping down from the top right corner of the display. Tap the Music recognition button that looks like the Shazam logo. Once it turns on, you would see a red dot on the top right corner of the screen. Listen to Control by Centre Excuse, 2 Shazams. Nov 24, 2020 The iOS 14.2 update makes it easy to identify songs with a dedicated toggle in the Control Centre. Use Shazam Music Recognition Toggle in Control Centre The Music Recognition toggle doesn’t show up in Control Center by default (at least in the beta), but it can be enabled by opening up the Settings app. Follow the steps to enable the toggle.

To add the new Shazam music recognition toggle to Control Center, first make sure you’re running the developer beta of iOS 14.2, which is rolling out today. Then, open the Settings app, choose “Control Center,” then look for Shazam beneath the “More Controls” header. You can then add the Shazam toggle and rearrange it as you see fit.

Once you’ve added the Shazam toggle to Control Center, you can simply tap the control and Shazam will instantly start to listen for music and show you the song name and artist through a pop-up. That pop-up also makes it easy to find the song on Apple Music.

This marks one of the deepest integrations we’ve seen of Shazam within iOS since Apple acquired the music recognition service in December of 2017. Third-party applications are not able to integrate with the Control Center toggles, so this is a benefit of Shazam being owned by Apple. Earlier today, the Shazam app was updated to take advantage of new iOS 14 features as well.

If you’re not seeing the iOS 14.2 developer on your device just yet, it’s because it’s not yet rolling out over-the-air. Instead, it’s only available as a direct download from Apple’s Developer website. Theoretically, an over-the-air update should roll out sooner rather than later.

Shazam Control Centre Online

Shazam identifies a song by creating a unique digital fingerprint to match what you’re hearing with one of the millions of songs in the Shazam database.

Use the Shazam app

Shazam Control Centre

If you have the Shazam app installed on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac, you can use the app to identify music and save the songs to your library.

  1. Open the Shazam app on your device.
  2. Tap or click the Shazam button to identify what’s playing around you.

When Shazam identifies the song, it’s saved in My Music, along with all of your other previous Shazams.

After you've identified a song, you can connect to Apple Music and other music services to listen to your Shazam.

If you don’t have an Internet connection, the app will still create a unique digital fingerprint to match against the Shazam database next time your device is connected to the Internet. If a song can’t be identified, it will disappear from your pending Shazams.

Use Auto Shazam

To enable Shazam to automatically identify what’s playing around you, touch and hold (or double-click on Mac) the Shazam button . When Auto Shazam is on, Shazam will match what you’re hearing with songs in the Shazam database – even when you switch to another app. Shazam never saves or stores what it hears.

You can then find the Shazams identified with Auto-Shazam in My Music, grouped together by date.
