Tapping on the new search icon that replaces the camera icon opens up a dedicated search interface where content can be searched for and then played right in the Shazam app for those who have Apple Music. It's likely that all of the prior partnerships Shazam had with outside companies have expired, leading the camera technology to become outdated. The camera functionality dates back to 2015, prior to when Apple acquired the Shazam app. When the 'See It, Shazam It' feature was released, Shazam had partnerships with Disney, Sports Illustrated, the WSJ, and more. The camera button was used for a visual feature that allowed Shazam users to scan images with a Shazam camera logo or a QR code. The search button replaces the camera icon that was previously in the Shazam app, and the camera functionality appears to have been eliminated from the Shazam app entirely.
