How to Pair/Link Shazam with Spotify

 

If Shazam on your iPhone is your preferred app to find songs just by their rhythms or lyrics, and if you’re using the Spotify app as well, you can link the account of both of these apps together. Well, the benefit of linking accounts of both of these apps is that you’ll be able to listen and add the search songs easily. Definitely, this will make your music searching and listening experience better. Shazam is not some new app, but it’s been here for a long time, plus it has improved itself a lot.

After the launch of iOS 14, Apple has changed many things in a great way. Now users can set their preferred default music app, which wasn’t available before. You may know the Shazam app, owned by Apple, and previously it was only linked with Apple Music. But now, this thing isn’t the same anymore because you can now link your Spotify account with the Shazam app.

Indeed, both Apple Music and Shazam are tough competitors, but Apple’s main motive is to make things a bit easier for users. Millions of users from worldwide use Spotify as their preferred music app. Once you find an unknown song on the Shazam app, you can hear it directly on the Spotify app if your Spotify account is linked. So if you want to make this happen, here’s how you can link Shazam to Spotify.

How to Link Shazam to Spotify

Before starting the process, make sure both Spotify and Shazam apps are successfully installed.
