Shazam Logo

Shazam is one of the most useful tools on the market, if not the best, to detect the music we listen to within seconds of listening. In September 2018, Apple purchased the platform with the aim of fully integrating the platform into its operating systems. It was in iOS and iPadOS 16 that Shazam was finally integrated into the synchronization of the platform and the application itself which is still available in the App Store. The iOS 16.3 update added a small new animation to Shazam integrated with Siri through the operating system itself.

It is rare that today there is someone who does not know Shazam and its main function. If you’re one of them…we show you how to take advantage of one of the best tools available today. This is an iOS built-in app (although there is also its own app in the App Store) that allows recognize the songs we listen to with only a few seconds of listening.

Apple is integrating Shazam into iOS and iPadOS through the virtual assistant Siri and through quick access with a widget in the control center. Thanks to the new iOS 16.3 update released a few days ago, the concept we had so far of deploying the tool via Siri is being turned on its head. This update includes a new animation in the form of blue waves coming out of the notification at the top when listening is initiated via a Siri command.

This change is nothing more than a visual change it does not affect the normal operation of quick access, far from it. But it adds a more attractive touch for the user who wants to use this tool from time to time. Remember that if you have the Shazam app installed, when you recognize something directly from Siri or the control center, it will be included in the list of songs saved in the app itself since the launch of iOS and iPadOS 16.
