Is the music recognition function on iPad / iPhone free? Will there be a charge to use this feature?

You can download Shazam is a free app

Hi ebevington,

We see you have a question about music recognition on iOS/iPadOS devices.

To clarify, are you referring to Shazam? If so, while you can link it to Apple Music, Spotify or other apps, they aren't required to simply recognize a song.

See how to use Shazam here:

• Use Shazam with Apple Music, Snapchat, and more

Cheers!
