Shazam is another, Apple removed Admob, Bolts, Doubleclick, FB Ads, FB Analytics, FB login, Inmobi, IAS, Moat, and Mopub from the app and continued to update it.

Is Shazam actually one of the safer "always on" microphone apps. I didn't realize it was owned by Apple.

I found the desktop app pretty useful in just identifying songs friends played when people were over, popular songs in commercials, and just popular songs that played when I lived abroad on tv. But as I thought about the security implications of apps like Alexa and Hey Google I eventually uninstalled it. Siri was always basically useless so I kept it off mostly for that reason.

Siri used Shazam too so you can just ask “What’s this song?” And it’ll tell you

To be fair, Apple only just bought it a few months ago. 9 months to be exact.

Spotify integration still seems to be there. They have added Apple Music integration of course though.
