Jay Peters, writing for The Verge: Apple bought music recognition app Shazam in 2018, and now it’s integrating it into iOS in another big way — a new Music Recognition feature can identify songs playing around you as well as in apps on your phone. And it even works when you’re listening to music on your headphones.The new feature is available as a toggle in Control Center, but it does require a developer beta of iOS 14.2 if you want to try it right now. I use Shazam very frequently, often when watching a TV show or movie. On iOS 14 you can assign “back taps” to a Shortcut, so I assigned a double tap on the back of the phone to a Shazam Shortcut that listens and identifies the song. more Not all embedded content is displayed here.

Thanks for sharing that back taps info Jason. Didn't know this was added. Gonna have to play around and figure out what my best use of that would be.
That's cool. I stopped using Shazam when I got a Google pixel for 5 years ago. It's always listening and shows the song on your main screen what's playing nearby. It's really cool. Even if you don't have an internet connection it's pretty amazing.
