APPLE HAS ANNOUNCED that its $400m acquisition of music discovery service Shazam is complete.
This comes just weeks after the takeover received the thumbs up from European regulators, and will see Apple remove all ads from the Shazam app “soon” – even for users of the Android version.
“Apple and Shazam have a long history together. Shazam was one of the first apps available when we launched the App Store and has become a favourite app for music fans everywhere,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music.
