How to Use Shazam on iPhone Without App

Did you know that your iPhone has a built-in Shazam feature that you can add to your Control Center without installing the app? Besides that, there are other ways to use Shazam on your iPhone like Siri command, back tap feature, Assistive Touch and more.

Shazam is a music recognition application that can identify songs playing in the background and provide you with information about the song, such as the artist and the album it belongs to. This feature is really useful when you want to identify a song whose name you don’t know.

Shazam can identify songs by listening to the live audio recording and comparing the audio waveform to a database of millions of songs. If there is a match, it will tell you which song it is. Now let’s see how you can use Shazam on your iPhone/iPad and add it to your Control Center without installing the app.

How to Use Shazam on iPhone Without App

There are a few different ways you can use Shazam on your iPhone without using the app:

Use Siri: You can ask Siri to “Shazam this song” and it will listen to the song and try to identify it for you.
Use the Shazam website: You can go to the Shazam website (https://www.shazam.com/) on your iPhone’s web browser and click the “Listen” button to start Shazam listening to the song.
Use the “Hey Siri” feature: If your iPhone is connected to a power source, you can say “Hey Siri, Shazam this song” and it will start listening and try to identify the song.
