How it works
How to find a song from Snapchat
Three taps from Snapchat to the song name.
-

Open the Spotlight video and tap the share arrow on the right side.
Tip: For a Snap or a Story, record your screen while it plays instead, then use Upload the video.
-
Step 2Tap Copy link
It’s in the row of options in the share menu. The link looks like snapchat.com/spotlight/…
-
Step 3Paste it here and tap Find song
Come back to this page, paste the link in the box at the top and tap Find song. You’ll see the song name, the artist, a short preview and links to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
Snapchat’s own song finder not working?
Snapchat’s built-in music recognition works by listening through your phone’s microphone while you press and hold on the camera screen. It only hears music playing around you, so it can’t identify a song inside a Snap or a Spotlight video you’re watching, and it isn’t available in every version of the app.
For a song in a Spotlight video, paste its link here. For a Snap or a Story, record your screen while it plays and upload the recording: the song is found from the sound itself.
How to record a Snap or Story to find its song
Snaps and Stories have no link you can copy, so a short screen recording works best:
- iPhone: open Control Center, tap Screen Recording, then play the Snap.
- Android: swipe down twice to open Quick Settings, tap Screen record, then play the Snap.
- Stop after 10 to 15 seconds of music, then upload the recording.
Snapchat can let the sender know that you recorded their Snap, as it does with screenshots.
