Shazam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pablothe2nd Dread Head Redemption 🇯🇲 (@pablothe2nd) reported

    @batgoat15 He’d be cast well but the issue with Shazam is the ageing thing. whoever the actor for Billy is will keep ageing. Unless you just recast a younger Billy for each film idk how they’d work around it might be better to just stay away.

  • shepherdmg Mark Shepherd 📐📷 (@shepherdmg) reported

    @DanielPDykes The other sneaky one I've noticed is Shazam. Even though permissions for the mic are set for only while the app is in use, it continues to listen once the app is closed. It takes a full shut down or restart to close it down fully.

  • RobPiccirillo Rob Piccirillo | Producer | CEO | Creative (@RobPiccirillo) reported

    Ever since @Apple bought Shazam - the app went down hill. They should rename it now to ShaShit - because that’s what it is. The system doesn’t recognize anything. Including my songs, my mixes and other artists that we tested it on. Talk about having the ability to mislead users, Apple now has a stake in it.

  • corrinegrande24 Claire Upland (@corrinegrande24) reported

    @agchartd not me thinking this will starts to slow down on shazam hopefully not

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Madmark2077 @tebepalingasik I'm unable to access the audio directly, so I can't identify the song with certainty. Try using Shazam or a similar app on the video—it should recognize it quickly! If you can describe the melody or lyrics, I might be able to narrow it down.

  • Andytygafm DJ Andy (@Andytygafm) reported

    @Nx2Mj @NiziU__official @Shazam No problem

  • Spherebotrep *** (@Spherebotrep) reported

    @SMSamuel274752 -life just to make him a slave who can barely even speak? Yeah, probably. But I get not having him feel too terrible for getting him out of the way vs giving him the Injustice Shazam treatment.

  • JasperMacdonald Jasper (@JasperMacdonald) reported

    @batgoat15 The problem with shazam is the concept barely works in love action, by the 2nd or 3rd movie whichever kid plays Billie will be an adult already

  • Femme_Sentry ⚡Meta-Woman⚡ (@Femme_Sentry) reported

    ++ batgirl kills a couple of them with her baton but freaking Wonder Woman, Superman, and Shazam are easily taken down in minutes???? Batgod bullshit is also a big reason I dislike 90% or the DCAMU

  • MetaKnightWins Jadecrimson (@MetaKnightWins) reported

    @screentime @ESCORPIONGOLDEN I'd be down for Shazam

  • soobignaturals beeach episode (@soobignaturals) reported

    @foreverraingf its so funny im never more self-conscious than when i have shazam out. the terrible experience vs the need to Know Things

  • BeansGoodTakes Bean😼 (@BeansGoodTakes) reported

    @KnightmareYuvi birds of prey's problem was the title and until they renamed it it was too late not a single soul i know likes black adam and shazam 2 even though black adam was awesome ww84 sucked the flash's problem was the fan screening and blue beetle didnt have enough because of the strikes

  • HoIIandMedia Holland Media (@HoIIandMedia) reported

    @erion_jordan There’s also an alternate scenario “Lemme Shazam this, I need to copy down these lyrics”

  • TheRealGoblinK2 The Goblin King (@TheRealGoblinK2) reported

    @CarcerJason @_STRound @TheProjectUnity Oh ****. Kazaam was the Shaq version. See, that I could see being an issue with memory. Sinbad was pretty ubiquitous in the 90s. It's weird to think of Shaq being in movies lol then the whole Shazam/Kazaam thing. I could see that being a memory trick. The cornucopia was real, though

  • SamB_46 Sam :) (@SamB_46) reported

    @unfoldedsky49 Left after 2 hours but mans was throwing down. Not too many IDs before 3am bc my Shazam was getting everything but dude had the crowd like mannequins. Dancing on ******* command

  • Txcslutch your life is so boring on paper (@Txcslutch) reported

    Had to read two power of Shazam issues and I felt actually sick, how does anyone manage this

  • Fynagle Fynn (@Fynagle) reported

    @Tostky @callmeMEJE Dwyane crippled Shazam 2 because he was expected to be Black Adam but turned it down because he didn't want to "be a villain". Meanwhile Cena went from villain to anti-hero to full hero with the same character. His career may have had a rocky start, but he's better than the Rock.

  • SwearJar reid clow (@SwearJar) reported

    @Shazam @ddlovato i’m having a back end issue with your platform and i need to speak to a representative.

  • enter420691 Enter42069 (@enter420691) reported

    @Claymaz1ng @NoahRayWrites @kateofbish Most depictions of Wonder Woman do not care about killing Alan Scott had no problem killing aliens Superman kills when he knows he has no other possibility Like only Shazam (Because it woule be weirr showing kid killing people), Flash ane Nightwing have nokill rule

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Gerrie526333314 @NoContextCrap Sorry, let's try again. Sources mention ambient sitar music in Self-help Singh videos, possibly original or stock without a specific title. What series does it remind you of—any details like genre or era? That could help narrow it down. If not, Shazam the video!

  • MetaReflexive jeanne ne sais quoi (@MetaReflexive) reported

    @yolko0no the shazam links still not working, fell to my knees

  • Testjohn16 Testjohn🇺🇸 (@Testjohn16) reported

    @Rainmaker1973 Does anybody know the instrumental in the background? It’s killing me I know it’s from somewhere. I just cannot pinpoint it and Shazam is not working.

  • WB5774842429525 Bareacal (@WB5774842429525) reported

    @RapidResponse47 @StephenM @POTUS The criminals are only in hiding - like rats or cockroaches when lights come on. As soon as feds leave (2wks?), it will be dark again, and shazam - crime problem's back. Until and unless demtards are voted out of mayoral, city council, police dept leadership, and state/county DAs, criminals will thrive in blue cities...

  • kiryuinsmash Kiryu and Majima for Smash (@kiryuinsmash) reported

    @CBM_Cringe This was true... for one episode of the Justice League show, before Shazam showed him the error of his ways

  • MAttack45 Matt Attack45🇺🇸 (@MAttack45) reported

    @ItsZacknight @te_Neil_et @CultureCrave But blame MOS huh the Snyder verse was the problem I was told?? WW84, Shazam and flash weren’t even Snyder verse it was hamandas movies SS and BVS didn’t kill anything, it was Justice league that started the snowball and it wasn’t even Snyders fault

  • bronze_age_zee Subtard Zee 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@bronze_age_zee) reported

    @Exchronos @TheVallyD The only problem with Shazam! Is that it’s just not who the character is. After Billy turns into Cap/Shazam, he’s supposed to have the wisdom of Solomon.

  • AwesomeMrW Mr. W (@AwesomeMrW) reported

    @mnsportsmiseree @BlazeBinges Yes, Shazam is Captain Marvel. What's the issue?

  • danceyrselfdean salt air.......... (@danceyrselfdean) reported

    @josh_posting @Shazam bro calm down you don't even know what they singing about

  • goldenlitlsmile chrys⁷⁼¹ ⟭⟬ᴱ ᴬᴿᴱ ᴮ⟬⟭ᶜᴷ (@goldenlitlsmile) reported

    @boravaned_roml I know some people who make them and I’ll share them the moment the playlist is made cause my Shazam can’t catch **** after he turned it down 🥲

  • zogbaa Revan (@zogbaa) reported

    @MrOpoku Shazam held me down. It just randomly showed up on my Spotify this morning.
