would you like to use your iPhone to identify tunes playing on the radio, in a store or anywhere else without having to download an app? This is possible thanks to an interesting function available in iOS.
Following the acquisition of Shazam by Manzana As of September 2018, the tech giant has worked to embed features from the music service directly into its phones, including one that is capable of recognizing songs.

How to identify any song from iPhone?
To access this iOS functionality, you must first activate it. Therefore, go to Settings and go to the section Control center. Then go to the section More controls and press the ✚ button next to the option music recognition.
From then on, every time you want to identify the name and author of the music that is playing around you or on your own device, you just have to display the Control center of the iPhone and tap the Shazam icon.
The results of the analysis will appear at the top of the screen. To open the history with all the songs you identify, press and hold the shazam icon. From there you can also add the content you want to the application library My music.
