Identifying music without Shazam popping up
The Shazam mobile application can work not only in the background, but also in normal mode, detecting the music that is currently playing from the main speaker of the smartphone. If you downloaded a track, but the title is not real or there are numbers instead of the title, turn on the song. And only after that, open the Shazam application to launch its recognition function. There is another way, which is based on the “Split Screen” function of the smartphone.
Unfortunately, not all smartphones have this feature. To find out for sure whether split screen is supported, launch Shazam and the music source program. Then click on the “Tasks” button, which looks like a rectangle or square at the bottom of the smartphone. And click on the icon of one of the applications in the list of running ones.
A split screen button should appear at the bottom. Now select the second application from the list of running ones, which will be placed in the window below.
Next, all you have to do is start the track in one window and click on the “Shazam” button in the application. So that the name of the song that is currently playing on your phone appears on the screen.
Now you have the ability to launch any application as a song source in dual screen mode on your smartphone and Shazam music from them. Don’t rush to close the application; in it you can see different charts of new songs by Russian and Western artists. And also find out which songs users have searched for most often lately. The Shazam application will give you the opportunity to keep up with all the popular new music.

Why Shazam doesn't work on iPhone
Shazam will turn on and work correctly only on phones with iOS 8 and lower (for example, models S, SE). Many users noted the fact that after the release of new software, the program stopped working on iPhones. This is explained by the fact that the advanced models have a Siri voice assistant with a built-in music recognition function.
Important! “Shazam” can still be installed on the X, XR phone, but there is no need for it.
Problems with the program may appear for the following reasons:
- lack of Internet connection;
- insufficient memory for installation or operation;
- problems with your Apple ID account.
The above problems occur very rarely and are not that difficult to deal with. In the absence of the Internet, the recorded segment is still saved in the program memory.
Note! To prevent a clogged cache, you should regularly clean your smartphone of unnecessary files. If the rules are followed, the extension works without any problems.
Other programs for recognizing music on iPhone
In first place in popularity after Shazam is SoundHound. The work is aimed at identifying the artist and title of the song. If possible, the album cover, duration and text are also displayed on the screen. The main advantage of the application is the ability to recognize songs sung into a microphone by a person.
SoundHound can be integrated with popular services YouTube and Apple Music. Thanks to this, the owner of the smartphone gets access to viewing video clips. The Playlists section stores your favorite music and provides quick access to it. Also in the program you can monitor the ranking in the world charts, watch new videos and listen to tracks sorted by genre.
SoundHound program interface
The Musixmatch service was designed to quickly search for song lyrics and display them while listening to music. As a result of the updates, the application was able to recognize tracks by matching the music with the existing database. You can determine the title and artist in just a few seconds. First, the program tries to do an analysis, and then displays the resulting data on the screen.
Note! The program has a button for downloading text and viewing the best tracks of the artist. Musixmatch works with Siri commands so you can see song lyrics on your lock screen while it's playing.
Another free app is MusicID. The main advantage is a simple interface that is easy to work with. Compared to the above programs, it has a more meager set of functions. However, this does not prevent high-quality music recognition in a few seconds.
Siri is a well-known voice assistant for iPhone owners that can determine the name of a song. It is thanks to Siri that owners of Apple equipment refuse to install third-party applications. To find out the artist, just ask Siri what song is currently playing. The virtual assistant will provide complete information in a few seconds. The main information page will have a "Buy" section that redirects the user to the iTunes Store.
