## What is What's Playing? Song ID?

Hear a song you like? Tap the mic in your Dynamic Island and What's Playing tells you what it is in seconds, without opening the app.

LIVE ACTIVITY AND DYNAMIC ISLAND
Start a Live Activity once and song ID is always one tap away, from the Dynamic Island or your Lock Screen. You see the last song you found, a "Listening" state while it works, and a clear "No match" when nothing is playing. Song ID also works from Home Screen widgets and Shortcuts, so you can put it on the Action Button or ask Siri.

EVERY SONG, KEPT
Every song you identify lands in All Songs. Make folders for road trips, workouts or late nights, and pick one folder to save new finds into, so they file themselves as you go. A song can live in as many folders as you like, and deleting a folder never deletes its songs.

APPLE MUSIC
Play any song in Apple Music, add it to your library, or turn a whole folder into an Apple Music playlist with one tap.

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
Your songs and folders sync with iCloud across your devices. There are no ads.

FREE AND PRO
What's Playing is free to use, including song ID from the Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, widgets and Shortcuts, with up to 4 song IDs a day and 2 folders.

What's Playing Pro adds:
• Unlimited song IDs, everywhere
• Unlimited folders
• Custom icons and colours for each folder
• A Shortcut to choose where new songs are saved

Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Song recognition uses Apple's ShazamKit.
