iOS 14.2 Beta Adds New Shazam Music Recognition Feature for Control Center

[chucker23n1]

Shazam was already working in 13 iOS like a widget...Plus I think I missed the 14.1 beta....

14.1 will be for the new iPhones and probably iPad Air. Might not ship on other devices at all.

The Control Center should not look like the Home Screen, icons should be translucent with a white image

Wait until control center gets folders.

What was the OTA size - I thought I say like 500mb on my iPhone 11 Pro Max running gm 14
but then I saw 4.8 gb on the gm iPad Pro 2018 so I think I misread the iPhone!

seems like a large update for just 2 changes (and some bug fixes)

4.5 GB or so on the iPhone 11Pro

Saves an icon now on my home screen!

Apple adding some more always listening “features” to their OS. I hope we don't end up like Google..

I wish Apple would create a landscape mode for the music app.

Is this similar to the feature on the Pixel 2 where the phone detects anything playing

Doesn‘t that need microphone to be turned on most of the time? Sounds really creepy.

It‘s not ”always” though. You have to tap to activate it.

It is.. that screen shot was likely for illustration

Correction: It is colored when active. (Like the screen recording button)

There better be some real fixes in here. My iPhone 11 keeps stalling out and on the native apps.

What about those of us with discerning taste and recognize other third parties have better music players that offer more innovative controls than Apple? With it only opening up in Apple Music I would still find this feature less than helpful.

That’s cool but I want to bring back the old Apple Music icon 😕

Now Spotify is going to cry even more because it’s defaulting to recommending the song on Apple Music

Sometimes you want to do so quietly. I was just in this situation.
Another funny thing, the only way to delete all your alarms at once is to ask Siri.

You just made my day. I had dozens of alarms, accumulated after all these years of manually snoozing. Too lazy to swipe and delete that many times. Thanks hot-gril and Siri!

"Hey Siri"...

And TBH they’re right. Spotify users can completely skip this update because they can’t use 75% of its features. What are they gonna do about “listen on Apple Music” button or Apple Music’a music suggestions in control center? I wish Apple shared some API’s and allowed changing default music player because that looks unfair to developers as well as to users.

I don't see it, no option in Control settings, on iOS 14.2b.

Edit:
Duh...it's under Music recognition in Control centre Settings, I was looking for Shazam.

 

[twistedpixel8]

Anyone remember the original Shazam? No downloading an app or anything, you just dialed 2580 on your oldschool, monochrome display equipped brick of a phone and it listened, then sent you an SMS with the song. Was like 50p a go though so wasn’t cheap!

Guys, if I Shazam a song using Siri, should it get stored in my Shazam app? I've tried it but even though the song is recognised, it's not stored in the app?

Yet STILL no VPN button for Control Center... 🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡🤬🤬😡😡😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬🤬🤬😡🤬😡🤬🤬😡😡😠😡🤬🤬😡🤬🤬

Funnily enough, that bugged me just yesterday.

It's not a huge deal, but given that Apple employees use VPNs as well, you'd think someone internal would find this to be a useful addition.

It gets added to a list you can get to in the iTunes store on the top right.

It's a big deal to me. My workplace public wifi is overly restrictive, and I run my own VPN to access my home network and get around some of the restrictions. As I move from AP to AP around the building it disconnects, so I find myself having to reconnect 5-10 times a day, 5 days a week... seems like such an obvious thing to have in control center, yet all these years of being able to customize it and still nothing.

 

[DeepIn2U]

That would be super convenient! ❤ this!

If you or anyone hasn't already noticed the Shazam functionality is here in the current release of iOS 14 The Music within Control Panel hasn't of yet changed.

Any sign of the homekit adaptive lighting promised??
