Apple has updated Shazam with a new Liquid Glass design that matches the look of iOS 26. The refreshed app is now available on the App Store for iPhone users running the latest software. Apple says the redesign gives Shazam a “sleek, new Liquid Glass look” and makes navigation faster and cleaner.
The update adds a revamped bottom toolbar that includes quick access to Home, Library, and Concerts tabs. A new Search button now sits separately on the bottom right corner. The overall interface uses more transparency, softer edges, and smooth animations, following Apple’s latest design style across its apps.
Recent songs you’ve identified now appear directly on the Home tab. You no longer need to swipe or dig through menus to find your latest tracks. This small change helps users quickly revisit their most recent discoveries.
New Design and Icon
Shazam also has a refreshed app icon that matches Apple’s new Liquid Glass theme. The design makes the icon look glossier and more in line with the rest of Apple’s updated system apps. The update includes subtle motion effects and a refined layout that feels more integrated with iOS 26.
Shazam’s redesign follows similar updates to Apple Music and Apple Podcasts, which both adopted Liquid Glass elements earlier this year. The consistency shows Apple’s effort to bring a unified look across its ecosystem.
You can download the latest version of Shazam from the App Store starting today. The update is rolling out globally. Shazam, which Apple acquired in 2018, remains one of the most popular music recognition tools, also integrated into Siri and Control Center on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
