About

Originally launched in 2002 in the UK as an SMS service called 2580, Shazam expanded globally and became one of the most downloaded apps of all time with over one billion downloads across iOS, Android, macOS, watchOS, Wear OS, and Chrome. In September 2018, Apple acquired Shazam for a reported $400 million, integrating its technology into Siri and releasing ShazamKit for third-party developers.
