Music Recognition works with songs playing in the ambient environment as well as songs playing on your ‌iPhone‌. So if you're watching a video and want to know what song is in it, you can just tap. Find out what music is playing on your iPhone, inside any app, using Shazam's built-in music recognition. In the past, iPhones could only identify music playing from external speakers. But with iOS 14.2 and later, your iPhone can identify music playing right on the device. Hold the home button on your iOS device to invoke Siri and ask, “What song is playing?” Siri will respond by saying: “Let me listen.”, “Listening” or something similar, and take a few seconds to recognize the track and display the results. You can of course do this by invoking Siri without pressing the home button.

What do you do when you hear a song playing around you and want to identify it? Well, we have been either summoning Siri on our iPhones or Apple Watch, asking her to recognize the song, or have been launching the Shazam app for the same purpose. Both options come in handy most of the time but take their own sweet time. Waking up Siri does take a few seconds and fishing out Shazam from the list of apps can also waste a few moments. These few moments are often key when you are out hearing and trying to identify a random song. Also, speaking to your phone (rather than on it) in public can get you some weird glances.

Well, all of this can now be avoided. You can figure out what song is playing around you with just a single tap on your iPhone.

Yep, that simple. The iOS 14.2 update has introduced a feature that will allow you to tap and recognize the songs playing around you. The feature called, “Music Recognition” is basically Shazam in your Control Centre. For those who might have forgotten, Apple bought Shazam back in 2018 for $400 million and after integrating it with Siri, the brand is further weaving the music recognition software into its OS. But instead of calling it Shazam, Apple has added it as Music Recognition with a Shazam logo. And it puts song recognition a tap away on your iPhone.

Here is how you can get the feature on your iPhone!

Update! Update! Update!

First things first, your iPhone must be running on iOS 14.2 or above in order to get this feature working on your device. If you have not updated your iPhone, you can easily do so by going to Settings. Pick out “General” and then tap on “Software Update”. From here you can update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS available in your region.

Dive into Control Center

Once your iPhone is updated, you again need to go swimming in the Settings but this time you have to select a fish swimming a little deeper than General and select the “Control Centre” option. It is right below General.

Time to recognize Musical Recognition

After getting into the Control Centre find the feature called “Music Recognition”. You would have to scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page to find it but it will surely be there. The feature will have the iconic blue Shazam icon.

Add Musical Recognition Control to your Centre

Now all you have to do is tap on the tiny green “+” icon right next to it and the feature will be added to the Control Centre on your iPhone. It will now have a “-“ icon next to it – this we will ignore!
