Snapchat just upgraded their app, users now being able to create group chats in the app as well as Shazam songs through the app.

Holding down anywhere on the camera screen within Snapchat will prompt Shazam to identify songs playing nearby, launching a pop-up that allows users to retrieve more information, including lyrics, preview the audio, play a Vevo clip, or share. As with other Snapchat messages, the song, if it’s not saved separately will disappear after 24 hours.

This upgrade is expected to solve the problem of clicking on all the individual names you want to send snaps to. After the upgrade you can add up to 16 friends to a group and it works in the same way as regular snaps: Messages are deleted after 24 hours, and if a Snap isn’t opened, it’s deleted after 24 hours.

The most important update is actually the ability to Shazam music through Snapchat. ‘Having the ability to immediately identify a track that’s being played is going to be an invaluable addition to the app,’ says one Snapchat user.

If the users want to see a list of songs they’ve Shazamed via Snapchat, they can find them in Snapchat Settings.

With over 1 billion app downloads, hundreds of millions of active users worldwide Shazam has been expanding to improve the experience of music discovery, marking another huge step forward for Shazam.

‘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.’ said Shazam CEO Rich Riley.
