Shazam gets an update with Apple Watch support

While we know Shazam is the best app for identifying the song we're listening to, how does Shazam work ? The app uses an algorithm that compares the volume and decibel levels of a song with the information it has in its database to determine the song's name.

It was revealed today that Shazam has been updated with Apple Watch support , adding some improvements and polishing some errors that were found in the iPhone or iPad application when identifying an artist, song or displaying song lyrics.

Shazam for Apple Watch

One of Shazam's greatest features is that, in addition to recognizing the music you're listening to, it also gives you the opportunity to see the lyrics and follow the rhythm of the music like a kind of karaoke.

On the Apple Watch, you'll have the opportunity to recognize the music you're listening to and, of course, the artist without any problems. This is all thanks to the Bluetooth of your iPhone, since it's important to know that the Apple Watch isn't a standalone device; it depends on an Apple phone or tablet to get the most out of it.

 What's new in Shazam with this update?

  • Apple Watch support: you can identify your music from your Apple Watch.
  • Find out what song you're listening to in just a few seconds.
  • Listen to your music while viewing the lyrics on your Apple Watch.
  • View the Author's Biography with just a swipe up.
  • Turn on Auto Shazam and automatically identify music without having to touch the watch.
  • Transfer music from iPhone to Apple Watch and vice versa.

Shazam has undoubtedly taken a big step forward with these improvements, especially by adding support for Apple Watch. We hope that future updates will bring many more improvements for the Apple Watch.
