Siri can identify a song playing on your iPhone or iPad. This feature is made possible through integration with the Shazam app. Shazam is a popular music recognition service that can identify songs based on their audio fingerprints. With Siri, you can easily access this functionality without needing to open the Shazam app separately.
To use Siri for song identification, you need to have Siri set up on your device. If you haven’t done so already, go to your device’s settings, find Siri, and enable it. You may also need to give Siri permission to access your microphone, as this is essential for identifying songs.
Once Siri is set up, you can simply activate it by saying “Hey Siri” or by pressing and holding the home button (on older devices) or the side button (on newer devices). When Siri is listening, you can ask something like “What song is playing?” or “Name that tune.” Siri will then use the device’s microphone to listen to the song and attempt to identify it.
After identifying the song, Siri will display the song details on the screen, including the title, artist, and album. Additionally, Siri will add the song to your My Music section within the Shazam app. This allows you to easily access the identified songs later on. To access the Shazam app, simply tap on the song details shown by Siri.
Furthermore, the identified song will also be synced to the Music Recognition history in Control Center. To access this history, swipe down from the top-right corner of your device’s screen (on iPhone X and newer) or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (on older iPhone models with a home button). In the Control Center, you will find a section labeled “Music Recognition” where you can see a list of previously identified songs.
One of the great advantages of using Siri for song identification is the convenience it offers. Instead of manually launching the Shazam app and waiting for it to load, you can quickly identify a song just by using your voice. This can be particularly useful in situations where you hear a song but don’t know its title or artist.
Personally, I have found Siri’s song identification feature to be quite accurate and reliable. It has helped me discover new songs and artists that I might have otherwise missed. Whether I’m listening to music on the radio, at a friend’s house, or even in a store, Siri has been able to identify the songs for me with just a simple voice command.
Siri can indeed identify songs playing on your iPhone or iPad by utilizing the Shazam app. This integration allows for quick and convenient song recognition, with the identified songs being added to the Shazam app’s My Music section and synced to the Music Recognition history in Control Center. So, the next time you come across a catchy tune and want to know its details, simply ask Siri, and it will do the rest.
