1. Ios 14.2 Shazam Control Center
2. Control Center Ios

Apple is releasing iOS 14.2 GM to developer beta testers today, and to public beta testers. Notably, today’s new iOS 14.2 GM should bring a fix for the erroneous “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 14 beta” notification that many users are seeing right now.

1. IOS 14.2 seems like a very solid update mid-cycle update. The new AirPlay controls are an improvement over what was there previously, and I really like the new Shazam toggle in Control Center. Especially when I’m in public, it always felt a little strange to ask Siri out loud what song was playing.
2. Apple released the first beta for iOS 14.2 to iPhone developers on Thursday, Sept. A significant new feature that iOS 14.2 brings to the table is a new Control Center tile for Shazam music recognition. A simple tap of the tile will launch the operating system's built-in Shazam capabilities, scanning for music playing in the immediate area.

iOS 14.2 GM is rolling out now and can be found in the Settings application. The release of this beta is particularly notable given the notification about a non-existent update many users have been seeing for the past 24 hours.

This isn’t the first time a bug like this has happened. In fact, something similar happened during the iOS 12 beta period in 2018. Essentially, Apple hardcodes the expiration of beta versions of iOS into the springboard. Once that date rolls around, the springboard will automatically display the popup warning repeatedly until an update is installed.

Elsewhere, iOS 14.2 brings revamped now playing controls to the lock screen alongside redesigned AirPlay 2 controls in Control Center. Another one of the new changes in iOS 14.2 is a brand new Shazam toggle that can be added to Control Center.

To add the new Shazam music recognition toggle to Control Center, first make sure you’re running the developer beta of iOS 14.2, which is rolling out today. Then, open the Settings app, choose “Control Center,” then look for Shazam beneath the “More Controls” header. You can then add the Shazam toggle and rearrange it as you see fit.

iOS 14.2 also includes a variety of new wallpapers, which can see and download in our full post right here.

When it comes to identifying songs you hear in public or on the radio, Shazam is one of those apps. However, to launch Shazam would need to look for the app, launch it, or you can also launch Siri and use Shazam through it. However, Apple is hoping to make the process a little faster.

The company has recently released iOS 14.2 in beta form to developers and one of the changes that was spotted was how Shazam now can reside in your Control Center. This means that at a tap of the Shazam button in Control Center, you can start identifying songs already. It also seems that this feature is particularly useful when you’re watching videos or inside of an app or wearing AirPods as it will also be able to identify songs through them.

Ios 14.2 Shazam Control Center

Some users had previously complained about Apple’s decision to remove the Shazam widget from iOS, but now it looks like you will have a new and possibly better way of using the feature. Apple acquired Shazam a couple of years ago and has worked to try to get it more tightly integrated within iOS, and this new change in iOS 14.2 seems to be headed in that direction.

Right now iOS 14.2 is only available in beta to developers and we’re not sure when it will be ready for the public. In the meantime, iOS 14 was released just yesterday so if you haven’t updated yet, you might want to consider doing so.
