Don\u2019t stress when Shazam doesn\u2019t work! Follow this guide first.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you use the Shazam <\/a>app music that\u2019s playing around you can be identified, wherever you are. Unfortunately, all apps can get buggy from time to time. It\u2019s especially annoying when you want to quickly identify a song that\u2019s playing in a coffee shop or on the radio <\/a>but then find that the Shazam <\/a>app isn\u2019t working, and before you know it the track has finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Shazam music search<\/a> isn\u2019t working, or the app is crashing or won\u2019t open, try these steps to get back up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The first step in troubleshooting Shazam<\/a>, or any app for that matter, is to relaunch the app<\/strong>. If that doesn’t make a difference, reboot your device<\/strong>. It\u2019s amazing how often that solves the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, check you\u2019re running the latest version<\/strong> of your device software and the Shazam app<\/a> is up to date as well. On Apple devices head to the App Store to check for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds obvious, but make sure you\u2019re connected to the internet<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve limited WiFi or data signal, Shazam <\/a>might struggle to connect. Sometimes turning off mobile data, waiting a couple of minutes and turning it back on again resets the connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There might not be a problem at your end at all. Be sure to check if Shazam is down for everyone<\/strong>. Online status checker websites will notice if there\u2019s an outage, and social media<\/a> platforms like Twitter <\/a>are always worth a search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now try uninstalling and reinstalling the Shazam app<\/strong>. Tip \u2013 offloading the app rather than deleting will keep your data intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still having trouble? The final option is to email app support <\/strong>to get to the bottom of the problem. Shazam <\/a>is owned by Apple so you\u2019ll want to head to Apple Support<\/a> and ask your question. As satisfying as it is to solve a problem yourself, sometimes you\u2019ve got to ask the experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
