Shazam shown in the Dynamic Island on an iPhone
The new Shazam version 17.11 can keep continuously listening for music to identify, and will now display the results via Live Activities on the iPhone.
Shazam has always been able to identify music by listening to it, although it now listens longer than it used before giving up, and it will also recognize classical music. But unless users stayed in the Shazam app, it had to be launched and re-launched every time it’s wanted.
Now with Shazam 17.11, instead of starting and stopping Shazam each time, users can now run it while working in other apps. While it’s running, the music-recognition software showing that it is listening using the Dynamic Island.
