Shazam’s latest iPad update includes a new “Auto-tagging” feature that allows the user to set up a more passive background tagging process, when watching TV.
Rather than having to remember that Shazam allows you to tag every program, or watch for the little Shazam icon on a commercial, the new feature allows constant listening. Identified items will be loaded onto an in-app carousel.
(Side note: Am I the only one who fumbles after seeing the Shazam icon during a 30 second commercial to pull out my phone, open Shazam, and tag a commercial?)
How I would explain this to my mom:
- Your iPad will look up information from the show FOR you, that you can look through while you watch the show.
- TV shows will create more experiences for this app, that accompany the show you are watching on TV. TV gets much more interactive.
- Once this feature is turned on, it will keep listening, and cataloging for you.
