When I found a song on shazam I pressed the 3 dots and it would say open in deezer. Now the links no longer there. Any ideas? I'm in UK using Samsung s20

You're actually right @Not your Dream 

Our devs have confirmed that, if you have an Apple Music account or have linked a Spotify account, the 'open in Deezer' link won't show up. That's due to the update Shazam released a while ago, so not on our side.

At this moment, Apple is unable to provide a better integration with Deezer, but we'll continue to engage with them to get this improve in the future :relaxed:

Hi there

 

Shazam link to deezer not been working for couple of months either  on my IPhone 11 or  iPad . Bit annoying 🧐

It means Shazam opens up  Deezer but doesn’t find the songs at all.

How can I sort it out?

I'm having the same issue too. I used to have the option to open in Deezer but this has now gone. Tried uninstalling both apps and reinstalling..Still no Deezer options. I have recently updated to android 11 and oneUI 3.0 on my S10.

Hi Rudi
I actually checked it out when  songcatcher was launched . There was a problem to find brand new and not really popular songs. Anyway I’m gonna check it your one again. 
Cheers mate

Same issue, just switched from S9 to S21 and do not see the option to open the song in Deezer. I reinstall both apps but no change. Still working fine on the S9.

Same issue. Galaxy s10e. Have reinstalled both shazam and deezer apps, no change. Would use song catcher if it was as effective as shazam, but it's not….

Hi,

on my iPhone X I have this issue since weeks!

When trying to play a shazammed song out of the Shazam APP it just opens/switches to Deezer - but nothing more happens.
This feature worked already in the past very bad because a lot of songs weren’t played and the UI of Deezer does NOT handle that issue. Therefore I ask you to generally rework this feature.

 

Deezers “Song Catcher” is for sure NO OPTION - because it NEVER recognised a song on my end…

 

Please let us use the best available APP for this → Shazam - and do not try to copy Shazam this won’t work…

 

I hope this issue will be fixed soon! Thank you an advance...

Hi Rudy,

I have been experiencing the same issue for some weeks now. Quite annoying, and the Deezer songcatcher works only on limited songs. I trust mostly Shazam. This issue seems to be known now for some time. Any progress? I am using iPhone XR but seems that device  is not the concern. 
thanks for coming back on this.
