Shazam it!

I remember downloading Shazam quite a few years ago and using it to identify songs playing on the radio or TV.  It wasn't always successful in the identification and it still isn't, but it is much improved.  With iOS 14, Shazam is now a built-in feature of the iPhone operating system and comes with the ability to identify music that is playing not only on other devices but also on your iPhone and headphones. You no longer have to download the app if you are using an Apple product; Android users will download it from the Google Play store.

How might you use Shazam? 
1) While watching someone's TikTok you want to know what music they've used to create it.
2) You're watching a YouTube video and want to identify the background music.
3)  While watching a show on TV you'd like to know the name of the music that is playing.
4)  You're listening to music on your headphones and want to identify what is playing.

Who can use it? Shazam can be used on multiple devices - iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Macs and Apple Watches.  Android users have already been able to use some of these features for a couple of years.

Shazam can be accessed through the Control Panel on your Apple devices OR you can even just ask Siri to identify the music. ("Siri, what song is playing?")

Today is going to be way too nice to stay inside and spend time with your technology, but maybe you can use this tip while you are listening to music or a podcast during your walk?  Make it a great Tech Tip Tuesday whatever you choose to do!
