Shazam just got a big update on Android, adding support for more languages and features. The app now has a new look and feel, as well as new features that make it easier to use. The update also includes bug fixes and improvements. So if you’re looking for an updated Shazam experience, be sure to download the latest version today!
Version 13.7 of the Shazam app on Android now lets you quickly identify a song playing without needing to open the app, thanks to a brand new widget. It’s redesigned for Material You in Android 12 and 13 — kudos to Apple for actually caring about its few Android apps. The widget can search for a song and give you a result without needing you to actually open the app.
Given how the previous widget was just a very oversized icon to access the app, having something functional at all is already a massive upgrade. And this implementation in particular works amazingly. With this existing now, there’s very little reason to actually open the Shazam app now, as you can just fire up a song search right from your home screen.
This feature is live as of the latest stable version of Shazam, so make sure to update your app whenever you get a chance. The Google app pre-installed on most devices can also look up music like Shazam, by saying “OK Google, what song is playing?”
