IOS 14.2 introduces built-in Shazam: how to enable it

One of the main iOS 14.2 innovations a service built into the operating system Shazam… The corresponding section appeared in the control center – Apple has integrated the music recognition service in iOS, allowing you to use it without installing the application itself. This is very cool, considering that now it is also possible to recognize even those tracks that accompany the video played on the same device. But not everyone understands how to enable it, since Shazam does not appear automatically, it must be additionally activated manually.

IPhone can now recognize music in one click without installing an app

How to enable Shazam on iPhone

You can now recognize music on iPhone directly from the control center – literally in one click.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll to the Control Center menu
  3. In the “More controls” section, click on the plus next to the item “Music recognition.
  4. Add Music Recognition to Control Center

  5. The Shazam icon will appear in the control center, which can be invoked by swiping from the top (on models with Face ID) or from the bottom (on phones with Touch ID).

How to recognize music on an iPhone

If you’ve heard music you don’t know the author of, tap the Shazam icon in Control Center. After a few seconds, a notification will appear at the top with the name of the track and its author. You can go to the app to listen to the song immediately in Apple Music.

You can even recognize a track from a video on the same iPhone

Moreover, this did not necessarily have to be a track that is playing on another device – you can recognize the song even in the video on the same iPhone. For example, you found a cool video, but don’t know the song from it – you turned on Shazam, and you’re done.

Apple купила сервис Shazam в 2017 году. Сумма сделки составила 400 миллионов долларов — это гораздо меньше, чем 1 миллиард долларов, в который сервис оценили во время инвестиционного «раунда» в 2015 году.

Shazam has been integrated with Siri since iOS 8, and it was thanks to it that you could ask what song is playing and get a quick response from the voice assistant.

By getting its hands on music recognition technology, Apple has been able to attract new subscribers that are not necessarily associated with Shazam. The service’s developments allow the company to integrate artificial intelligence into Apple Music, which will intelligently approach the issue of creating playlists that are interesting to users.

What’s new in iOS 14.2

Another important innovation in iOS 14.2 is support ECG on Apple Watch in Russia… Apple specifically blocks the ECG function at the system level because eligibility is subject to country-specific regulatory approval. Until recently, Apple could not get it in Russia.

The ECG measurement function is officially only available on three generations of Apple Watch: Series 4, 5 and 6. It doesn’t matter where you bought your watch – to take measurements, you need to follow instructions at this linkby activating the innovation, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
