Hi All Many thanks indeed for the great response to the Ios 6 and Shazam questions for my iPhone. I have just synced my iphone as it required me to do that prior to the update. I then looked at all the apps I have on my iphone and suddenly thought they may or may not work under V 6!!!
Not sure how to proceed: will non-compatible apps be flagged during the update or will they be deleted or something else happen? Many thanks everyone Chris Christopher L.K.
