Apple on 24 September announced it has completed the acquisition of Shazam, one of the world's most popular music recognition mobile apps.
Shazam has been downloaded over 1 billion times around the world and users identify songs using the Shazam app over 20 million times each day.
"Shazam was one of the first apps available when we launched the App Store and has become a favourite app for music fans everywhere," said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music.
The app will soon offer its experience ad-free for all users so everyone can enjoy the best of Shazam without interruption, said Apple.
Built by Shazam Entertainment Ltd, a British app development company, Shazam helps people discover, interact with and share video, audio or printed content across devices.
According to earlier media reports, Apple struck a deal with Shazam for a likely sum of nearly $400 million.
Shazam lets users identify songs simply by listening to the music playing around them.
This will be a good option for those who enjoy Apple Music, and specifically for those who live in countries, where YouTube Music and Spotify aren't available.
Apple Music is the fastest growing music subscription in the world. With a total of 45 million songs on Apple Music, Apple says that it has surpassed 50 million paid subscribers on board. With the iOS 12 releasing this fall, Apple plans to maintain this upward trend of Apple Music by adding three new and significant features.
