-
James (@jamescoder12) reported85% of Google Pixel owners use their phone for the same 5 things every Android phone does. Calls. Texts. Camera. Chrome. Gmail. That's a phone with 15+ exclusive features features Samsung doesn't have, features iPhone doesn't have, features no other Android phone on earth can run being used like a $200 budget phone. Your Pixel answers spam calls for you before you pick up. It identifies every song playing around you on your lock screen, without Shazam, without internet. It erases people from photos. It swaps faces in group shots. It holds your place in customer service queues so you don't have to. Google buried these features behind menus, toggles, and settings nobody opens after setup day. A Pixel product reviewer who's tested 30+ smartphones in 2026 told me: "Pixel isn't the fastest phone. It isn't the most powerful. But it has more genuinely useful exclusive software features than any phone I've tested iPhone included. The problem is Google markets the hardware and forgets to tell anyone about the software." Here are 11 Pixel-exclusive features most owners have never turned on 🧵

Brian Costello (@BrianRCostello) reportedHe was literally doing the job of a studio CEO in trying to make his company’s product better after audiences not being thrilled with it If the film had been scoring better and not in the same range as Shazam 2 and Batgirl in the 60’s, there would have been no issues
-
Carl Feher (@CJ_Feher) reported@DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!
-
mary.y13 (@Jenniefansgn) reportedThe Shazam issue has been fixed but we won't be able to reach our goal I really hope this doesn't happen again especially since there are covers of the other leaked songs as well

-
ゴッドファーザー The Godfather (@Igniteoud) reportedThe success rate for discovering songs via @Shazam has dropped. Perhaps the algorithm is flawed or there have been many errors recently. Shazam struggles to identify songs, particularly those in the progressive house and dub techno genres. @Apple @AppleMusic
-
Atro (@Atrocitus2008) reported@roger_stev82377 Shazam would have no issues even if they all came at him at once.

Har Dey Wale🪖 (@CFC_adewale) reported@Ayeloja0 You people will just sit down and hype rubbish Seyi dey pack quantity over quality, that’s why his songs don’t have replay value why do you think people still dey go back and vibe to all Asake old albums till today? Who still dey remember Shazam or Instagram today lol

Zolly Becker (@ZollyBBecker) reportedThe problem was Shazam

*** (@gaiusrichardo) reportedshazam for iphone is terrible shazam for android works far better

James L. Greenlee (@GreenleeGazette) reported@SpeelingBChamp @CaraAxtell @TheBabylonBee "Miracles" are plot-hole spackle. It literally fixes any logical problems with any story in the bible. It's magic. Magic can do anything, so no matter what problem there might be, shazam! Magic! It's juvenile silliness to me.
-
Greentendo (@Nictendo2) reported@Gazungamer Honestly the biggest problem with the later output of the dceu. Stuff like Shazam and TSS would’ve done wonders 5 years earlier

Neo (@Neo_tech_AI) reported4. Visual Intelligence point at anything, know everything. Press and hold the Camera Control button. Point your camera at anything. A plant: species identification and care instructions. A restaurant: reviews, hours, and menu. A sign in another language: instant translation. A product: price comparison and purchase links. A dog: breed identification. A building: historical information and architecture details. A math equation: solved. A business card: contact saved automatically. A food dish: calorie and nutrition estimate. This is Google Lens + ChatGPT + Shazam in one gesture. Built into the camera. No app needed. No typing. It also works on photos already in your Camera Roll. Open a screenshot. Activate Visual Intelligence. It reads and responds to whatever's in the image. Most owners have never held the Camera Control button for 2 seconds. The entire AI visual engine sits behind a long press nobody tries.

Is Absolute Green ꗞ Lantern #14 out? (@AbsGLHypeGuy) reported@Gray_m0nst3rous Agree with the last part, I would have really preferred if King Shazam was really just magic and not related to Brainiac. As for the 14 first issues... Well, I disagree, I'd say that it proves that Superman can save Earth, while he didn't believe he could because of Krypton.

Marco Almeida (@MarcoAlmeidaPT) reportedCar stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?
-
Paul Rodriguez (@PGRodriguez80) reported@KS052020 @jkbaker1117 @ParamountPics You would keep failing then. The GA do not want cbm. Unless you are OK with sub 500m box offices. That is fine if the movie has Joker or Shazam budgets. The problem with dc and now the mcu is that the fans want something the ga does not care for.
-
Al Berto (@AlbertoMRamirez) reported@TheCinesthetic I don’t think it’s a disaster of a movie. I really like so much of it, that it overshadows the issues the film does have. But it’s def not a horrible or even bad movie. I mean the first one is better. But WW84 is better than Quantumania, Fantastic Four, Shazam 2, The Marvels,etc
-
Count Napier 2: La secuela (@JHQ409259) reported@TheBatspecter It really was the DCEU itself, Lego DC was at its best at that time (add to that the success of Lego Batman Movie)Lego DC really went down the drain when the movies didn't seem to have direction (you know, Shazam, Joker, TSS, SnyderCut) The only one that had a set was WW84.

Mason mount (@mount4life) reported@Exchronos @Steveroger3277 Shazam 2 had a weak plot and terrible acting
-
IsleofPigsStudios (Brand New Day Hype!) (@IsleofPigStudio) reported@C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.
-
F Shuggi (@official_fkb) reported@ShaySiblings @mideysmith You guys need to stop with this Sentry glazing and all that, just cos he's one of your fav xters. The only person he might be able to take down on this list might be maybe WW & Shazam(kid brain), but he ain't soloing no one here.
-
Jen🌸s ⚢ (@NeXJ9) reported@ughfinewhatever @bree_mck I was gonna say u can’t check shazam history if u don’t have the app, but I held down on the extension and it literally told me the history. Well I’ll be dammed
-
Kamen 7 (@ApasserbyFan) reported@Sukiihiro @FitMarshmellow Genuinely Bendis may have set Jon back by a thousand years but Taylor doubled down and set him back even further Throw in Sina Grace too for good measure just for the way he wrote Damian in that Shazam issue
-
Eat_My_Shorts (@YULITTL) reported@Blu_lulululu @iansmith06 @benardonhard Brother the same people handling the dcu rn have been in DC since 2021 making all those terrible movies like flash, aquaman 2, birds of prey, Shazam 2. James Gunn, Peter Saran, Christina, Andy mushetti. All these people made trash dceu movies before the reboot and stayed after.
-
Bolbi Stroganofsky (@HTL1998) reported@BatKilmer @UltraBiasedFan Apparently it was Emmerich who was so mad at Cavill for turning down a cameo in the first Shazam film that he vindictively did whatever he possibly could to derail his tenure as Superman.
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name

Joseph Mora (@PapiNCali) reported@TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.

TBPN (@tbpn) reportedShazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.
