On many occasions it has been said that iOS copies Android and vice versa. What is clear is that it is always the users who benefit. The ability to run applications from the control center is a fantastic feature that has always been available on Android and that Apple adopted relatively recently.
With the release of iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, we can use Shazam from the Control Center to recognize the songs that sound in our environment, which allows us to identify songs much faster than looking for the application on the iPhone or using Siri.
Through this functionality, Shazam has recognized a billion songs. Below we show you the most recognized songs through this Shazam functionality from the Control Center.
- "Talking To The Moon" by Bruno Mars
- "Astronaut In The Ocean" by Masked Wolf
- "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X
- "Beggin" by Maneskin
- Tom Odell's "Another Love"
- Aurora's Runaway
- StarBoi3 Feat. Doja Cat's “Dick”
- Duncan Laurence's "Arcade"
- "Stay" by The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber
- "Drivers license" by Olivia Rodrigo
The milestone comes after Shazam in June 2021 will exceed one billion monthly recognitions across all applications where Shazam functionality is available.
iOS iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 launched on November 5, 2020, so this new functionality has taken almost 11 months to reach this magical figure.
How to add Shazam to the Control Center
To add a direct access to the recognition of Shazam songs in the Control Center, we must access the settings of our device, access the Control Center menu and add Music recognition.
