Shazam, not the popular hero from the DC Universe but a popular app that helps users identify songs, has received an important update from Apple recently.
The new update brings a game-changing feature to Shazam, allowing users to identify songs through the microphone and while browsing YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. This handy addition comes in handy when you stumble upon a captivating video but have no information about the background track.
What Does the Latest Shazam Version Brings
The latest version of Shazam, known as v15.36, introduces a seamless process for identifying songs on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, per 9to5Mac.
To use this feature, simply open the Shazam app and tap the prominent blue button. Then, return to the YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok app, and Shazam will work its magic, providing you with the song details you've been searching for. It's an effortless and efficient way to discover the music behind your favorite videos.
Shazam's Song Recognition Functionality on Android
Shazam's incredible song recognition feature is not limited to iOS users. Android users can also enjoy this feature by downloading the app.
However, Android users are required to grant explicit permission for Shazam to access audio from other apps. This ensures privacy and control over the listening experience.
Moreover, Shazam's continuous efforts to improve have resulted in a breakthrough: it can now identify songs even when they are played through headphones, according to TechCrunch. This is a fantastic development for anyone who enjoys listening to music privately.
Shazam Acquisition Was a Success
Apple's acquisition of Shazam in 2018 for a whopping $400 million only proves that the Cupertino giant is on the right track in improving the user's experience with the app.
Integrating Shazam into the Apple ecosystem has been a resounding success, offering iOS users a convenient Shazam option in their Control Center.
With a single tap, users can initiate song recognition and uncover the mystery behind any tune. This seamless integration adds value and convenience for iOS users, further cementing Shazam as an indispensable tool for music lovers.
In May, TikTok launched an exciting feature called "New Music," aiming to help users discover the latest tracks and artists.
The ByteDance-owned app sets a game-changing trend in the music industry to cater to the needs of artists and aspiring creators who want to promote their new releases.
This way, people can have a lot of options to explore fresh music trends with no sweat. With the "New Music" feature coming to the place, it's easier to stay updated on the latest hits within the community.
