Apple has updated its Shazam app on iOS to recognize songs while they are playing in other apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.  Users can also enable the Auto Shazam feature, which listens and identifies songs as the user scrolls through other apps. Users can now open Shazam, tap the blue button, and return to the third-party app to identify the song. Switching back to Shazam will display the song name and information. Shazam uses the iPhone's microphone to listen to the song while the other app is in use. The app's Android users already have a similar feature, albeit with a permission request to access other platforms. Shazam, which was acquired by Apple for $400M in 2018, is integrated directly into iOS, while it exists as a separate app on Android devices.
