‘You’re a lifesaver,’ iPhone owners say after fans share ‘amazing’ music button trick they ‘didn’t even know existed’

APPLE fans are loving an easy-to-miss musical trick hidden on their iPhone.

Once you find it, you’ll want to use it all the time.

For starters, you may not realize that Shazam is available on your iPhone as default.

Shazam technology identifies songs playing nearby – and tells you what you’re listening to.

This isn’t the main part of the trick, but it’s important to know.

Apple purchased Shazam in 2018 and incorporated the technology directly into its iPhone.

So you don’t even need to download Shazam for this feature to work.

You can add Shazam to your Control Center for quick access.

Just go to Settings > Control Center and add it to the list.

Then, you can swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen (or up from the bottom if your iPhone has a Home button) to open Control Center and easily activate Shazam.

SHAZAM-AZING!

That’s great, but the real trick is what comes next.

What if you wanted to see a list of all the songs you’ve ever Shazam’d? Well, that’s totally possible.

All you need to do is keep your finger pressed on the Shazam button in the Control Center.

Instead of activating Shazam, it will open a menu with all the songs you used the feature to identify.

The trick was shared in a Reddit thread that generated more than 150 “upvotes”, equivalent to likes.

One user responded: “Man, thank you so much! I always thought the song would have disappeared if I didn’t open Spotify/Apple Music in time after Shazaming it. history is saved.”

Another said: “Thanks bro, you are a lifesaver. I missed out on a lot of good songs because I didn’t know that.”

One added: “This is really useful, I didn’t even know this feature existed. Thanks!”

And another wrote: “This is amazing! Thank you for teaching me that.”

TAP TIP…

That’s not the only Shazam trick you should know.

There’s actually another way to activate Shazam that doesn’t involve going into the Control Center.

Instead, you can use Back Tap, which turns the back of your iPhone into a giant button.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and choose Double Tap or Triple Tap.

APPLE LOVERS’ GUIDE

Are you a self-proclaimed Apple lover? Well, here are some fun tricks for you….

Then select Shazam for your preferred ringtone and save your preference.

Then, you can double-tap or triple-tap (whichever you choose) the back of your iPhone to activate Shazam.

This may not work very well if you have a very thick iPhone case, but it should be fine for most users.

This way, you can activate Shazam very quickly, which could mean catching a song before it disappears.
