Apple's Shazam gets a UI overhaul in its newest update, making it even easier for users to identify their favorite songs with just the tap of a button.
Music lovers can now take advantage of the latest Shazam update, which offers not only a UI overhaul but adds improved syncing and notifications for missed and offline Shazams.
The Shazam 14.2 release notes read as follows:
- Swipe up on home to access your past Shazams
- Get notified when we find your missed or offline Shazams
- See what's trending with Charts. Now available in Search
- For Apple Music: We'll now sync more of your past Shazams
- For Apple Music: If you delete a song in Apple Music, it won't be added back again
- For Spotify: We'll now find and sync more of your new Shazams
- For Spotify: If you lose connection, we'll try to sync again on your next Shazam
Shazam, which was acquired by Apple in 2018, has launched a new online beta version, too. Heading to shazam.com allows users to utilize their system microphone to identify music playing near them.
Apple recently activated a promotion that nets new Apple Music users a free five-month trial to the service, with the offer available through the company's Shazam music identification app.

What's the point of this acquisition now?
At one point it was more popular than Alexa with huge plans to become part of TV and films. Apple seems to have acquired it to kill it. How sad.
I want lock screen Shazam access, or at least the option for it. Put the icon right next to the flashlight and camera. Control center addition was cool, I guess, but it still takes the same number of steps to activate.
