Shazam already lets you identify songs playing around, and one way to do it was through Siri. With the new shortcut it’s easier, and it can also identify songs playing on different apps. The ability to identify songs even with headphones on is already available for Android users. It was rolled out in 2019. Although late it’s still a useful upgrade for iPhone users.

Google still tops Apple on this though with its ‘Now Playing’ feature for Pixel phones. It automatically identifies any song playing around and displays on the lock screen. Users can also later check the list of songs identified on their Pixel phones, and play it via different streaming services.

As for when the new Shazam feature will roll out, there’s no word yet. While it was spotted on iOS 14.2, there’s no confirmation if it will indeed be available with this update or a later one.
