Shazam is a music recognition app that identifies songs by listening to audio through the device microphone and matches it against a large database of tracks. It provides song information, lyrics, and links to streaming services, and is integrated into iOS as a Control Center shortcut. Shazam was originally founded in 1999 and acquired by Apple in 2018.
