The Shazam app has long been a must-have for music lovers looking to instantly identify songs. But for Wear OS users, the experience has always been tethered to having your Android phone nearby. That changes with the latest update, which severs the app’s dependence on a handset completely.

First spotted by 9to5Google, the new Wear OS version of Shazam can now operate entirely independently from a paired smartphone. The wrist-worn app is capable of recognizing music all on its own, no phone required.

But the app’s newfound autonomy doesn’t end there. Shazam has implemented an ingenious solution for those times when your watch may be disconnected from the internet. If your watch lacks an active data connection when attempting a song match, the app will capture a sample audio clip. Then, as soon as connectivity is restored, it will go to work identifying the audio snippet. A boon for users without a cellular-enabled wearable or those who frequently find themselves in connectivity deserts.

For users running Shazam across multiple devices, the update brings a welcome quality-of-life improvement as well. Any songs tagged on an unaccompanied Wear OS device will instantaneously sync to the Shazam app on an Android phone – provided you’re signed into the same account on both platforms, of course.
