New widgets for Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts introduced two new widgets to help users stay up to date with the latest episodes of their favorite and followed shows. In addition to the existing Up Next widget for Apple Podcasts, now users also have access to:

Followed Show widget: Your listeners can create a new widget for your show when they follow it.

Library widget: Your audience can add their most-used parts of the Library to their Home screen, specifically Latest Episodes, Saved, Downloaded, or a Station.

You can encourage listeners to follow and create a widget for your show. Listeners can quickly access episodes from the Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Today View. Learn how to set up widgets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The new widgets are available now with iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4
