I have playlist upon playlist dedicated to songs I've discovered on TikTok, but I almost always get an earworm scrolling through my FYP when I come across a song I don't know. More often than not, the artist isn't listed at the bottom of the video and I end up having to search the song lyrics or sit there and hum the beat to myself until I can move on with my life, but that struggle is now a thing of the past. TikTok user @ios14tipstrend shared a supereasy hack for identifying almost any song or background noise on the app, and my ears are so grateful.

"If you have an iPhone, ya need to know this trick," the voiceover says before revealing exactly how to add the Shazam app to your Control Center. "If you ever hear a song on TikTok, all you have to do is just click the Shazam button." When TikTok is open, simply drag the Control Center down, hit Shazam, and wait for it to recognize the song, so you won't have to spend the rest of the day singing a nameless tune to anyone who will listen. Watch the full video and check out a step-by-step breakdown for yourself ahead.
