Shazam, the Apple-owned app that helps users identify songs playing around them, can now recognize songs you\u2019re listening to through your headphones when using an Android phone or tablet.<\/p>\n

Acquired by Apple for $400 million last year<\/a>, the company introduced a feature called \u2018Pop-Up Shazam<\/a>\u2019 to its Android app this week that, when enabled, works with any other Android app to track and identify songs playing externally or internally on the phone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a feature that many<\/a> users<\/a> have requested<\/a> for years. Prior to this, when a user would chance upon a music track in say a YouTube video, they only had two inconvenient ways to shazam<\/em> the song. They could either unplug the earphones from the phone and let the audio play through the built-in speakers, or draw an earpiece close to the mic of the phone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new feature enables Shazam to track the audio signal beaming off of other apps, thereby not completely relying on just output from the surrounding and a phone\u2019s speaker.\u00a0The app is tapping the audio signal by using a persistent notification that floats around and could be dragged \u2014 like the ones from Facebook Messenger \u2014 and can be activated by a single tap.<\/p>\n

In our test, the feature worked as advertised through both wired and wireless earphones (amusingly, Apple\u2019s AirPods) and on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube apps. iPhone users hoping to use a similar feature will likely have to patiently wait as persistent notification isn\u2019t something that Apple\u2019s mobile operating system currently supports. Apple could potentially find an alternative workaround in the future.<\/p>\n

Google has taken a shot at audio recognition in recent years, too, after it introduced a \u2018Now Playing\u2019 feature in its Pixel 3 series smartphone<\/a> last year. If enabled, the phone actively looks for songs playing in the surrounding, identifies them and keeps a log.<\/p>\n
