Your iPhone not only recognizes the song that is playing, with iOS 18.2 it will tell you where you heard it

Do you remember when you first installed Shazam? Maybe it was because someone recommended that you could now discover what those unknown songs were that were playing on the radio, on the street or in some establishment. What is a fact is that newer iPhone users may no longer have the need to download the app because Apple bought it years ago and renamed it Music Recognition. In iOS 18.2 it will continue to improve so that it will tell you where you were when you recorded a song.

Music Recognition in iOS 18.2 improves to such a degree that it will tell you the location of where you heard that song

By asking your Apple device to listen to a song to identify it will be added to a history so you can consult it when you need it. According to Macworldnow In iOS 18.2 it will also add location information to know where you were at the time you asked to identify said song.

If you haven’t explored Music Recognition enough and don’t know where to check your history, you must go to the Control Center and hold down the Music Recognition button. In the iOS 18.2 beta, not only will this history appear but a section called Musical Memories will appear.

By allowing access to your location, the function will be automatically enabled which will tag the song discovery along with this data. What will not yet be possible is to explore each of the discoveries on a map. The location will only appear with each song individually. You will have to scroll through the list of songs to see the location history.

This feature could be adapted to other user requests

Surely in future iOS updates, Apple will give greater emphasis to the location tagging function. Gathering all the songs within a map would be something extraordinary. For music lovers they could find a new habit: going to certain places that already have a history of playing good music or to discover something new.

On the other hand, this function could be adapted to other iOS apps. It is something that, for example, Camera and the Photos app already do. It is possible to see, using a map, where each of the photos on the roll were taken. This is exactly the next step of Music Recognition. What other apps could be adapted What’s done with Camera and Photos apart from Music Recognition as a function?

The Photos app arrives with many new features

Another app that is doing something similar is Apple Maps along with its guides. This allows us to bring together a series of places that can be consulted to discover new places or compile interesting places we have visited. What can improve is that A guide is created automatically by just going through each of the places for an entire day without having to create the guide manually.
