iPhone's Built-In Music Recognition Feature Syncs With Shazam App on iOS 16

It’s the other way around, Siri’s music recognition is powered by Shazam. Again, it’s quite literally the same engine and database. Not similar, exactly the same. I’m honestly not sure what may be not working in your case.
When I ask Siri "What song is this?" is that using the Shazam app, because I don't have that installed, and wouldn't have the "my Shazam tracks" playlist.
$400 million for a service that everyone knew how to use before the acquisition and no one has used since.
This is great. I can't believe they didn't do this sooner. I also had no idea that you could long-press in the control center to see your history.
FINALLY!!
I noticed this a few days after Shazam first became an option in the Control Center. I raised the issue with Apple, and even got through to someone quite senior in the Shazam department, and they honestly acted as if they were surprised it was an issue. Glad it’s finally sorted, but can’t believe it needs to wait for a whole OS update.

Been wondering about this for years. Seems insane that the only way to get the songs to sync are by opening the app up, which I don't always have time to do when you only get a few seconds to identify a song.
Now, if you do have time, opening the app up and having all your Shazams sync to an Apple Music playlist is awesome. Very glad this is finally working in iOS 16.
I also use the triple-tap accessibility feature... you tap the back of the iPhone three times and it runs a Shazam shortcut... I wonder if that will sync or not.

no it doesn't 😂
unless you are tapping the notification you get and then adding it to you shazam manually maybe?
anyways, i was the one (or one of many) who requested apple to sync control center shazam to the app.
if you are running a shortcut using an action from shazam, that should be syncing as the action is proved as an "in app intent" from the shazam app. or so I thought, i guess it could be an "intent" from the system shazam app, in which case the control center would be populated with the shortcuts findings. you might want to test that and give file feedback on what you find if weird!
Very happy to hear this. Now history will be available on Shazam app!!
