Apple to Include an Enhanced Podcast App with 'For You' Recommendations and More
This is not the first time Apple is bringing recommendations to its apps as Apple Music already offers it. Now the 'For You' recommendations section is coming to the new Podcast app. The feature will allow users to discover content that is more relevant to their interests. Moreover, your friends will be able to see what you're listening to with the help of user profiles.
As for creators, they will be able to create bonus content for their podcasts which can include behind the scene content or bloopers. Apple is working on original podcast programming which will give the platform an edge against competitors like Spotify.
Spotify added a new feature to the mix last year which allowed users to add podcasts to their music playlists. Spotify has the required resources to further enhance the podcast listening experiencing as it acquired Anchor, Gimlet, and Parcast podcasting platforms in the past.
