Apple Podcasts Launches Web App for Desktop Browsing
Apple Podcasts is now available as a web app, accessible through desktop browsers like Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. You can try it out by visiting podcasts.apple.com. This update lets users access their Up Next queue, saved library, and browse for new shows directly from their PC’s web browser—a first for Apple Podcasts, which was previously limited to a desktop app on macOS.
The web app syncs seamlessly with your Apple Account (formerly Apple ID), allowing you to continue listening to your queued episodes across devices. Whether you’re using an iPhone, Windows laptop, or another device, your podcast experience stays consistent. You can search, follow new shows, and explore the full catalog of millions of podcasts, including Top Charts.
Additionally, Apple Podcasts on the web supports premium subscriptions, allowing users to access and purchase these through the site. For iPhone and iPad users, accessing the web link will automatically redirect you to the native Podcasts app instead.
This move aligns Apple Podcasts with other Apple content services like Music and TV, which already offer web app versions at music.apple.com and tv.apple.com. The new web app enhances the convenience for users who switch between Apple and non-Apple devices, providing a more versatile podcast experience.
