Following the recent public release of iOS 14, Apple, almost immediately, released the developer beta of the next iOS 14 version, iOS 14.2. With this update, Apple added a dedicated tile for its music recognition tool, Shazam for the control center of iOS. And here is how you can add the tile to your control center and start recognizing songs.
So, first, let me tell you how to add the tile in your control center, as it won’t be there by default.
- Go to the “Control Center” menu.
- Scroll down to find the “More Controls” section.
Now, whenever you pull down (or up, for Touch-ID-enabled devices) your control center, you will find a dedicated tile with the recognizable “Shazam” logo.
Whenever you need to recognize a song, just open your control center and tap the “Shazam” tile. It will turn blue and start pulsating. At first, the tool will ask to give you permission to use the microphone of your device. Then, after a few seconds of wait, it will detect the song that you are listening to and deliver a notification-banner that leads to the official Shazam website containing all the details about the song.
Now, one of the unique addition to this feature is that now Shazam can detect and recognize a song that you are playing on the device itself. This is a pretty handy feature for those who like to listen to random playlists during their leisure time.
