Apple's Shazam app has released a new update that removes the need to have an Android phone paired with your Wear OS smartwatch.
There's nothing like hearing a song somewhere in the world and launching Shazam into action to find out what it is. However, if you found yourself using a smartwatch with Wear OS installed and didn't have your Android phone around , you were out of luck. The Shazam team seems to have recognized this issue because, as spotted by 9to5Google, the app has been updated with an important feature: the ability to Shazam songs without the need for a paired Android phone.
In addition to making the app work without a phone, it also made it work without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. The company says that when you're offline, the app will now store the recording and, when you're back online, find the song and notify you. But wait! There's more! Identified songs will now sync across your devices in real time, so if you scan for a song on your watch, you'll see that song on the phone app right away.
