It is already folded into Siri. That's what happens if you ask "What song is this?" It just shows you the answer with the Shazam branding.
edit to add: I only know this so well because, when I switched to iPhone in 2016, I was REALLY confused about how you Shazam something. I couldn't find it in the App Store. I tried to use the Google app, since that's how I did the equivalent thing on Android, but it didn't support it. Finally I figured out that it's just built into Siri.
- scarface74 4y agoIIRC, Shazam was on the App Store since it’s inception in 2008.
- jklinger410 4y agoOh I know it's included, by folded in I mean it's going to be completely removed as an additional app and the branding will disappear. It's just going to be a feature of Siri and nothing more at some point.
- scarface74 4y agoApple acquired Siri from another company and kept the name. I doubt that they will kill the 20 year old Shazam brand. In fact on the control center, the Shazam icon is very prominent and it’s available as a complication on the watch.
- jklinger410 4y agoIf I ask Siri what song is playing, it doesn't say "thanks to Shazam" or something. It's already folded in to Siri to quite the degree. As the personal assistant war heats up, the drive to make Shazam disappear and force users to use Siri will become too strong to ignore. ERGO I am surprised that they put out a PR about it.
