Shazam App for iPhone Updated With Liquid Glass Design on iOS 26

Apple today updated its Shazam app with a new Liquid Glass design, for iPhone users who are running iOS 26 and later.

Shazam Liquid Glass
The app has a new navigation bar that provides quick access to Home, Library, and Concerts tabs, as well as a search button. In addition, recently-identified songs now appear directly on the Home screen, without needing to swipe up.

These changes require the latest version of the Shazam app, which is rolling out now.

Shazam is a popular music identification service that Apple acquired back in 2018. In addition to being available as an app, Shazam powers a Recognize Music control in Control Center on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and you can use Shazam via Siri.

I just use this functionality right from control center.

I'm not sure why I'd need or want the App.

By the way, why do I have two Shazam apps on my Apple Watch?
Because the only way to call Shazam is by smashing the two apps together and shouting SHAZAM.

To get the Control Center tool working and to see your song history.
You can see the song history by long pressing the Control Center Music Recognition icon.

There is the old and depreciated Shazam app, which you can and should uninstall now, and the Music Recognition app.

The control center button didn’t/doesn’t add songs to your history in the app, so for me personally it makes it useless. I always Shazam songs and then after a while I go to the app and add the songs from my history that I like to Spotify.
