Integrated Shazam control comes to new iOS 14.2 beta

It's been two years since Apple acquired Shazam, and now it's putting its technology to use. The latest version of iOS 14.2 beta adds Shazam's Music Recognition in the Control Center panel. When the feature is enabled, it can recognize the audio playing on internal or external audio sources. For example, it can identify a song playing through your AirPods—a feature the Android version got last year.

If you're running the beta, you should see the Shazam button in the Control Center already. All you need to do is press on the button. It isn't clear why it took Apple this long to integrate the feature better late than never, we guess.
