Apple released the surprise first beta of iOS 14.2 to developers, just one day after iOS 14 was released to the general public. One of the new changes in iOS 14.2 is a brand new Shazam toggle that can be added to Control Center.
Sep 17, 2020 Shazam should then be enabled in Control Center. Apple purchased Shazam in 2017 for a reported $400 million. Today's iOS 14.2 beta feature marks the first comprehensive integration into an Apple. Mar 06, 2021 After you have succesfully added the Shazam Music Recognition button to iPhone or iPad’s Control Center you can start using it to conveniently Shazam songs. To do so simply access the Control Center by swiping down from top right corner of the screen (or swiping up from the bottom of the screen on older iPhones). Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of your phone or tablet’s display (or by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on older devices). From there, tap on the grayed-out Shazam button. Once active and listening for music, the Shazam button will light up and slowly pulse.

To add the new Shazam music recognition toggle to Control Center, first make sure you’re running the developer beta of iOS 14.2, which is rolling out today. Then, open the Settings app, choose “Control Center,” then look for Shazam beneath the “More Controls” header. You can then add the Shazam toggle and rearrange it as you see fit.


Once you’ve added the Shazam toggle to Control Center, you can simply tap the control and Shazam will instantly start to listen for music and show you the song name and artist through a pop-up. That pop-up also makes it easy to find the song on Apple Music.
Shazam Control Center Not Saving

This marks one of the deepest integrations we’ve seen of Shazam within iOS since Apple acquired the music recognition service in December of 2017. Third-party applications are not able to integrate with the Control Center toggles, so this is a benefit of Shazam being owned by Apple. Earlier today, the Shazam app was updated to take advantage of new iOS 14 features as well.
If you’re not seeing the iOS 14.2 developer on your device just yet, it’s because it’s not yet rolling out over-the-air. Instead, it’s only available as a direct download from Apple’s Developer website. Theoretically, an over-the-air update should roll out sooner rather than later.
