The Apple Podcasts app, a media player for podcasts, came out with iOS 10 in 2014 and is now built into all Apple devices. It lists more than two million shows. It has the most well-known and comprehensive library of shows on any subject. Any Apple device can be used for free to listen to Apple podcasts.
Finding shows that suit your tastes with the help of personalized recommendations based on your current listening habits is a really handy feature of the podcast app. In addition to listening to a podcaster’s shows for free, listeners can subscribe to their feed to get automatic updates whenever the show is updated, giving them access to additional episodes, skippable ads, and previews of upcoming episodes.
