You can either tap ‘Song info’ or ‘Dismiss’. Tapping Song Info reveals a new window which lets you play the song, access lyrics and even play the video. Further, you also get a list of recommended songs and the songs shazamed by you are listed in Settings > Shazam.

Commenting on the new collaboration, Rich Riley, CEO Shazam said – “We are excited to launch our partnership with Snapchat. We’ve integrated Shazam into Snapchat in a way that makes discovering and sharing music both fun and easier than ever.”

We tested out this feature with a bunch of songs and we found it extremely useful. Instead of downloading a separate app, one can now simply get to know the name of the song straight from Snapchat. Further, additions like ability to listen to the song, access to lyrics, official video and recommended songs acts like an icing on the cake.
