iOS 14.2 has turned out to be a pretty big update considering it’s a point version update. Not only it revamps the look of now playing screen on both the lock screen and Control Center, but it is also bringing new features. One of the new features is the new “Music Recognition” feature in the Control Center that lets you identify songs that are playing in the background or on your iPhone. In this article, I am going to show you how to use the Music Recognition feature in iOS 14.2 to identify songs.
The Music Recognition feature is the system-level integration of the Shazam app in iOS 14.2. If you remember, Apple acquired Shazam a while back and has been slowly integrating it with iOS. The integration is quite powerful and different from the Shazam app. While the Shazam app was able to identify what’s playing around you, it didn’t work when you used it to identify songs playing on your iPhone.
- Now, go to Settings -> Control Center.
I love this feature as it’s letting me identify songs on shows and movies that I love. My only complaint is that it doesn’t keep a history of identified songs like the Shazam app did in the past.
