About Shazam

Shazam is a music discovery app that instantly identifies songs around you.

Shazam helps in everyday moments when you hear a track and need the name fast. Whether it is playing on TV, in a café, at the gym, or inside another app, you can capture the sound and get the details without interrupting what you are doing. Your finds stay organized in one library and remain accessible across devices. As you keep using it, Shazam builds a record of your music tastes that is easy to revisit and share with friends. If needed, you can search for Shazam APK to get started on Android.


What Shazam can do

Identify songs instantly

When music is playing nearby, Shazam listens and names the track in seconds. It works in a café, at the gym, on TV, or inside other apps. If you have headphones on, Shazam still identifies the song without needing to unplug.

Auto Shazam and offline detection

For continuous discovery, you can turn on Auto Shazam so the app keeps finding songs hands free. If you are offline, Shazam stores a recording and matches it when the connection returns. This way, a song you heard on the go does not get lost.

Lyrics, videos, and similar tracks

Shazam shows time synced lyrics that scroll with the song. You can watch official videos and browse recommendations for similar tracks. A visible Shazam count helps you gauge a track’s popularity at a glance.

Charts and concerts

Explore the Global Top 200 and city charts to see what is trending in different places. Shazam also helps you find concerts by artist, location, and date. From there, you can plan around shows that match your taste.

Quick access and cross device library

On Android, Pop Up Shazam and the notification shortcut let you tag music while using other apps. Widgets and Wear OS support add more ways to start identification. Your discoveries are saved in one library and also available on the web, so you can manage them across devices. You can use the Chrome extension to identify music playing in a browser tab such as YouTube or Netflix.


Before you download Shazam

Shazam can be used at no charge. Opening a track in a music service may require an account with that service. Location access helps show local city charts and concerts near you. Microphone access is needed to identify songs.


Access your library online

Saved songs appear in My Shazam on the web, which makes it easy to review from any device. This is useful when you switch phones or want to manage your discoveries on a computer.


How to use Shazam on Android

This quick guide shows how to identify music with Shazam on an Android phone. Follow the steps to tag songs, save results, and explore charts. For the best experience, use Shazam latest version during setup.

  1. Open Shazam and allow microphone access so the app can listen to music around you.
  2. Tap the Shazam button to start listening, then wait for the result card with the song title and artist.
  3. If music plays inside another app, enable Pop Up Shazam in settings, then tap the floating icon while the track is playing. For hands free listening, turn on Auto Shazam when you want continuous tagging.
  4. When offline, tap to Shazam as usual. The app saves the session and matches it later when you reconnect. After the result appears, tap Save to add it to your library.
  5. From the result screen, view lyrics or watch the video, then open the song in Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, or Deezer to add it to a playlist. You can also check charts and look up concert information.
