You probably already enjoy using Snapchat for its amazing filters and other features. It gets better since you can now use Shazam on Snapchat. With Shazam, you can identify which songs are playing around you or on Snapchat. The best part is that Shazam is integrated with Snapchat, making it easier and more convenient.
Using Shazam on Snapchat is easy. Besides, you don’t have to download it as it integrates within Snapchat. All you need is to open your Snapchat account and long press anywhere on the screen while on camera. Shazam will open and recognize the music playing. Once Shazam recognizes the music, it will display its name and other information about the track.
If you’ve not used Shazam before with Snapchat, this guide will offer you a step-by-step guide on how to go about it. Besides, we will cover how to edit a Shazam snap and view history on Shazam for all songs you’ve Shazamed before. Let’s get started.
What is Shazam?
Shazam is an application capable of listening to any tracks playing either on the target app or in the background. Once it listens to a track, it discovers the details of that track, including the name of the artist and the song’s title. In some cases, it downloads the entire song.
Shazam on Snapchat is a preinstalled feature, not an application you must download. Any updated Snapchat should have Shazam by default.
How To Use Shazam on Snapchat
You can use Shazam to identify the track, whether it’s the music playing on Snapchat or around you that you want to get more details about. The steps below will guide you.
- Open the Snapchat app on your phone.
- Open the camera screen and stay on it.
- Long-press the camera screen when music is playing in the background.
- Shazam will work in the background and pick up the music. You will note some moving icons on the screen signifying Shazam is trying to identify the track playing.
- Once Shazam recognizes the track, it will display a pop-up containing the song’s details, such as title, cover art, and artist name.
- To play the music, click the “Listen” button or the “Song Info” to get more details about the song. If you wish to share the song with your Snapchat friends, click the three dots at the top and choose the available options.
Once Shazam identifies the track, you can view more details from the information page, where you can get the song’s lyrics or preview the music.
Also, any Shazamed song will appear in the list of identified songs, covered in the next section.
