This new feature simply allows you to add a Shazam button to your iPhone’s pull-down Control Center.

You just need to play a brief sample of the song or film on your phone, and Shazam will tell you what it is.

How Can I Set Up Shazam On My iPhone?

Ensure you are running the most recent version of iOS on your iPhone. Check by accessing Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone. You will have to be on iOS 14.2 or newer to get this done. If you are not, update your device before proceeding to the next step.

A button will be visible when you open Control Center with the Shazam logo. Simply click it and it is set to go.

As soon as it is set up, it will be possible to Shazam songs straight from Control Center on your iPhone or your iPad. To know songs from your phone’s Control Center, click the Shazam button. It will identify tracks that are playing on your device even when you are using headphones, and they will be stored on your Shazam Library for future reference.

That is that.
