Apple bought Shazam three years ago in 2017. Almost immediately, the company removed all advertising within the app as well as third party SDKs. Both of these were good steps to prevent users from being tracked by the app. Now, the company is reportedly also getting rid of Facebook as a sign in option in the Android app.
As of right now, the change isn’t live on the Shazam app on Android or iPhone. However, it may be made live soon. Once that happens, users who have signed in to Shazam via Facebook will see the new warning.
It remains to be seen when (if at all) this change is actually implemented for users. As such, features and changes uncovered with a teardown don’t necessarily get shipped to users.
