The Shazam app for Put on OS simply obtained a neat replace: it could actually now work independently of your Android cellphone.
The replace, which was noticed by 9to5Google, mainly removes the necessity for the wrist app to consult with the app in your cellphone. You don’t even want the app downloaded in your Android for it to work. I downloaded it straight onto the OnePlus Watch 2 that I’m testing with out doing so on the Pixel 8 Professional it’s paired to. It nonetheless works! And rapidly at that. It was in a position to accurately establish some bangers on my Okay-pop playlist inside a second or two. (To be truthful, there wasn’t any background noise in my workplace. Your mileage could fluctuate in a espresso store.)
One other neat replace is that in case your watch is offline, the app will save a clip of the music and wait till you’ve obtained an web connection to establish it. That’s useful in the event you didn’t spring for a mobile watch — or if, just like the OnePlus Watch 2, your Put on OS watch of selection doesn’t have an LTE possibility. For those who do have the Shazam app in your cellphone, you can too immediately sync your finds. (Simply ensure you’re logged in to the identical Shazam account.)
I’m an enormous fan of Shazam-ing from the wrist, so it’s good to see the Put on OS model of the app get some love.
