Apple Podcasts can now be streamed directly from the web across all major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari) in over 170 countries. This new web experience simplifies access to podcasts, eliminating the need to search for shows via search engines and navigate to Apple Podcasts Preview pages.
Key Features
- New Interface: Users can now browse millions of shows, access Library and Top Charts, and purchase premium podcast subscriptions.
- Sync with Apple Account: Allows users to pause and save play progress, and view followed shows and subscriptions.
- Guest Access: Users without an Apple Account can browse and listen but lack personalized features.
- Apple Podcasts joins other web-based podcast platforms like Castbox, Podbay, Podcast App, Podurama, and music streaming services like YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify.
Benefits
- For Users: Provides an alternative to installing another app while still accessing key features.
- For Podcasters: Enables sharing links to episodes, shows, and channels, potentially reaching a broader audience.
