The famous app used worldwide by hundreds of thousands of users to identify songs has gotten a marvelous update. Shazam, has introduced new features to allow users to ID their favorite songs before they end.

Shazam has accommodated the upgrade to both the Android and iOS versions of the application. In particular, the Android application now incorporated a shortcut to enable users to begin "shazaming" instantly. The shortcut is a firm-press one instead of a tap which will ultimately cut down on time.

The Android version of the upgrade comes with the small catch of requiring Android 7.0 Nougat up and running on your device. Attaining access to the shortcut comes up when the Shazam app icon is "pressed firmly".

For users who are not running the latest Android version, SlashGear states that there are still plenty of updates available on the iOS version as well as the Android version. An additional feature is one that might catch users off guard. The app has been granted with the feature to scan Shazam codes by means of the device camera.

The feature was designed for users to scan codes that are branded by Shazam. These codes can be found on a variety of items such as magazines and different products. According to the upgrade, scanning these codes leads to the unlocking of special things and "augmented reality experiences".

The updates highlight how easy it is for users to create an account in order to keep all their Shazams backed up in the event of losing their phone. With the creation of an account, users of the app will find that their Shazams are saved forever.

iOS users who experienced glitches and issues in the application will no longer face any troubles. The new upgrade also takes care of previous problems experiences by iOS users.
