Shazam features support for Apple Music Haptics

Shazam now supports Music Haptics

Popular music recognition app Shazam has released an update integrating the new Music Haptics accessibility feature.

Released alongside iOS 18, Music Haptics takes advantage of the powerful Taptic Engine that can “tap” and vibrate the iPhone, and combines it with music playback. In short, your iPhone will vibrate in time and intensity to match the music being played back.

Currently, the feature is available to work with Apple Music, Apple Music Classical, and, as of Monday, Shazam.

Enabling Music Haptics is easy and can be done via the Accessability section in Settings.

How to enable Music Haptics in iOS 18

  1. On your iPhone, open Settings
  2. Tap Accessibility
  3. Scroll down to the Hearing subhead and tap Music Haptics
  4. Toggle on Music Haptics

Apple acquired Shazam in 2018 for $400 million and has spent years integrating it across its ecosystem. Users can use Shazam via Siri or the Control Center to find out what music is playing nearby.

Shazam is one of Apple’s free apps but can still be used even if it is not installed on your phone. An optional button for Music Recognition can be added to the Control Center, allowing for quick music identification at any time.
