Shazam has just gotten even more powerful. With the release of version 17.11, the popular music identification app can now continuously listen for music in the background and display results through Live Activities on your iPhone.
A New Level of Convenience
Previously, Shazam required users to stay in the app to identify music, restarting the process each time. This latest update changes all that. Now, Shazam can run seamlessly in the background while you work in other apps. When the app recognizes a track, it will notify you using Live Activities, leveraging the Dynamic Island feature to show real-time updates on the music being identified.
Enhanced Listening Capabilities
Shazam has also improved its listening abilities, extending the time it listens before giving up and adding the capability to recognize classical music. This means you can enjoy a more robust and comprehensive music identification experience, without the hassle of constantly opening and closing the app.
Compatibility and Requirements
This update is available for the iPhone and iPad versions of Shazam, requiring iOS 15.0 or later, or iPadOS 15.0 or later. While Apple Vision Pro users can run the iPad version, the Mac edition of Shazam has not seen an update in several years.
How It Works
- Background Listening: Shazam can now continuously run in the background, keeping an ear out for any music playing around you.
- Dynamic Island: As Shazam listens, it will utilize the Dynamic Island to show that it is active.
- Live Activities: Once a song is identified, Shazam will display the result using Live Activities, providing you with instant notifications about the track.
This update makes it easier than ever to discover and identify music, whether you're browsing the web, chatting with friends, or just exploring new apps. Shazam's new background listening feature ensures you never miss a beat, all while keeping you informed with real-time updates.
