iPhone users didn’t believe it anymore. 4 years after the feature arrived on Android, the iOS version of Shazam is finally able to identify songs within other applications. To do this, simply launch the analysis, then launch the song in question in the other application.
In 2019, Shazam brought an essential and yet missing feature to its application: the ability to recognize songs played in other applications. Only problem, the latter was reserved for Android users. A decision considered strange by some to say the least, knowing that Apple bought the application 2 years earlier, in 2017, for the trifle of 400 million dollars.
We thought that the functionality would soon arrive on iOS. We had to wait 4 years. It wasn’t until this week that Shazam finally broke the good news. It is finally possible on iPhone to identify the songs played in another application. In the era of TikTok and other YouTube Shorts, we can say that this one is timely.
How to identify songs within an app with Shazam
Indeed, all the applications will go through it: TikTok and YouTube therefore, which give pride of place to music with their short video formats, but also Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other community platforms. It should be noted, however, that with a few rare exceptions, these already display most of the time the name of the song in question.
