For the unaware, Shazam is a service that lets you identify songs and music playing around by listening to them. Apple acquired the same back in 2018. While Shazam is available as a standalone app for Android and iOS, Apple has now integrated it even more tightly with iOS.
To use the Shazam shortcut, all you need to do is update your iPhone to iOS 14.2 (or iPad to iPadOS 14.2). Also, there’s no need to install the Shazam app on your device.
