Did you know you can use your iPhone to instantly identify virtually any song playing around you?
Whether the song is playing on TV, in a Restaurant (remember those), or on the Radio… You can easily figure out what song is playing with just a few quick taps of your finger.
Here’s how to figure out what song is playing using your iPhone on iOS 14.2.
1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the option labeled “Control Center.”
3. Scroll down to the section labeled “More,” then tap the “+” button next to the entry for “Music Recognition.”
4. Then, when a song is playing around you, pull down the Control Center from the top right corner of your iPhone and tap once on the “Music Recognition” button. The icon will be highlighted and Siri will start listening to any music playing in the area.
That’s it! After a second or two your iPhone will tell you the song artist and title that is playing – even if you’re listening to it with headphones!
How cool
Wow
iPad Pete you are really smart.
Shazam has been doing this for 10 years!!!
What if music recognition has a minus in red beside it. How do t get it back to green + sign? Thanks
Love it. Thank you
Wow, this is a great tip!! I’ve often wondered where and what a tune is that I hear. Brings back many memories!
Thank you!
The cats meow!
Great shortcut, thanks.
I have an XR iPhone but do not see Music Recognition, I have Sound Recognition but not Music Recognition! What am I doing wrong? Thank for your posts – they are very helpful!

Thanks Pete for all the tips.
Wow! That’s way cool. There was one app before (a long time ago). Not sure if this is the same but just got buried in the App abyss.
You are the best! I feel so smart now.
Hello, is there a way to back up the things that I’ve saved in my documents folder? I save a lot of things in there that I don’t want to lose.
