Snapchat Shazam



Shazam on Snapchat. Snapchat has a native arrangement with Shazam to discover songs within the app. It is meant to quickly discover songs playing in the background when you’re out and about having fun at a party or club. You can identify the song and put the sticker in your story to let people know of the song being played in your Story. And just like that, there's Shazam in your Snapchat. Snapchat users can now instantly figure out which songs are rudely interrupting their impromptu lunchtime video shoots without.
