Progress Timeline
Verified
Verified that Shazam is partially accessible from Syria. The Shazam iOS app works fully — music identification, song library, and Apple Music integration all function normally. However, the Shazam website (shazam.com) is blocked, returning a 405 "Not allowed" error from Fastly's Varnish cache server...
Investigated
Community member reported that Shazam is blocked in Syria. Testing from a Syrian IP address (5.155.34.160) on Chrome/Android showed that the app loads but content fails to display properly. The Apple-owned music identification service appears to restrict functionality for users in Syria.
Work at Shazam? Know someone who does?
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Shazam or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
