If you have an iPhone or iPad, Siri can be useful in a number of ways, like checking the weather, sending messages, and even recognizing songs that are playing around you. Shazam Music Recognition is now built into iOS and iPadOS, and it only takes a few seconds for Siri to name that tune, even if the song is playing through your headphones.

When a song is playing nearby that you want to identify, just say, “Hey Siri, what is this song?” or “Hey Siri, Shazam this song.” (If this voice command doesn’t work, make sure your Siri settings are configured correctly.) Once Siri identifies the song, you should see the song name and artist appear in a pop-up window. Tapping on the pop-up will open it in the Shazam app. In the Shazam app, you can swipe up to see other recent songs you’ve identified with Siri and Shazam.

In addition to using Siri to identify a song, you can also use the Music Recognition quick setting in Control Center. To set this up, go to Settings, then Control Center, and tap the green plus sign next to Music Recognition. Then, the next time a song plays, swipe down from the top-right corner of your home screen to open Control Center and tap the Shazam icon. Shazam will start listening to the song and identify it if it can. If you long-press the Shazam icon in Control Center, you can see your Shazam history.
