Apple releases new Shazam replace with higher Spotify and Apple Music syncing

Apple has released a new update to Shazam, the music tagging service that it bought in 2018. The latest version adds songs tagged from outside the app to the Shazam playlist in Apple Music and Spotify.

Here’s what’s new in version 18.9:

We’ve made syncing songs to Apple Music and Spotify better than ever! Shazam will now include songs found via Music Recognition in Control Centre, Siri, and Shortcuts to your “My Shazam Tracks” playlist in Apple Music or Spotify.

Simply toggle “Sync your songs” off and on in Shazam settings to re-sync all your previously discovered songs from the Shazam app. You may need to reopen Spotify to see the playlist refreshed.

Don’t forget to keep your Shazam History safe and in sync between your devices. To do this, turn on iCloud sync in Shazam Settings.

Download the latest version of Shazam from the App Store.
