The upcoming upgrade to Apple’s Podcasts app will enhance user experience by enabling a smooth transition between audio and video formats. With the introduction of HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology, listeners will have the ability to switch to a horizontal video version of their favorite podcasts while they are streaming.
Additionally, users will be able to download video versions of podcasts for viewing without an internet connection. This feature aims to provide greater flexibility and accessibility to podcast consumers, catering to diverse listening preferences.
