How do you send Shazam-identified songs to Spotify?
The latest Shazam build also files tracks caught through Siri, Control Center and Shortcuts into your playlist automatically.
Short answer
Open Shazam, tap the gear icon at the top left to reach Settings, then find the Apple Music or Spotify box and toggle "Sync your songs" off and back on. That pushes every track you have ever identified back into the "My Shazam Tracks" playlist. On Spotify you may need to force-quit and reopen the app before the playlist shows up.
What you need
Step by step
Update Shazam
Open the App Store and confirm Shazam is on its newest version. Coverage for Siri, Control Center and Shortcuts arrives with this update. On older builds, only songs identified inside the app itself reached the playlist.
Open Settings
Launch Shazam and tap the gear icon in the top left corner of the screen. If you cannot see it, drag the menu up from the bottom of the display. Every sync option lives on this one screen.
Connect your music service
In Settings, locate the Apple Music or Spotify box and link your account. Without a connection, Shazam has no permission to create a playlist for you. Spotify shows an authorization screen that you need to approve.
Toggle sync off and on
In that same box, switch "Sync your songs" off, then turn it back on. This triggers a fresh transfer of every track in your identification history. If the playlist does not appear on the Spotify side right away, force-quit the app and reopen it.
Turn on iCloud sync
Scroll down the Settings menu and switch the iCloud sync row on. Your Shazam history then stays shared across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Swapping phones no longer costs you the songs you have identified.
Check the playlist
Open Spotify or Apple Music and look for the "My Shazam Tracks" playlist. Ask Siri "What song is this?" or press the Shazam button in Control Center to identify a track. It should land in the playlist within a few seconds.
Tips
Watch out
Toggling sync off and on sometimes rebuilds the existing "My Shazam Tracks" playlist from scratch. Any songs you added by hand or any reordering you did can disappear. If those edits matter, copy the playlist into a separate one first.
Frequently asked questions
+Will my older Shazam history land in the playlist too?
Yes. When you switch the sync toggle off and back on, Shazam re-sends every song it has previously identified.
+Can I send tracks to Spotify and Apple Music at the same time?
Settings has a separate box for each service, so you can link both. Each one gets its own "My Shazam Tracks" playlist.
+The playlist is not showing in Spotify, what should I do?
Force-quit the Spotify app from the app switcher and open it again. That is usually enough to refresh the playlist.
+Does this work with a free Spotify account?
Playlist creation works on free accounts as well. Playing the songs in order and on demand still requires Premium.
+Do songs I identify with Siri go into the playlist?
After the update, yes. Tracks recognized through Siri, Control Center and Shortcuts all feed the same playlist.
