Cupertino, August 20: Apple has rolled out its audio streaming service, 'Apple Podcast,' to several browsers, making it easy for users to access. The Apple Podcast offers listeners and creators a diverse collection of informative and entertaining podcasts. It boasts over a million podcasts on various topics. The audio streaming service also offers a seamless listening experience to Apple devices.

Apple Podcast services are now easily accessible to users from over 170 countries who use popular browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge. Previously, users were limited in accessing Apple audio services. They would have to look up a show on the search engine and go to the Apple Podcast preview page. Microsoft App Vulnerability in macOS: Researchers Find 8 Applications Vulnerable to Attacks Allowing Hackers To Get Full Permissions of Apple Devices.

Due to the new Apple Podcast web version,  users can save a lot of trouble and use their browsers to access the services. This new option helps users search and find millions of shows from their favourite categories. Besides listening to shows and podcasts, they can also make purchases on web browsers. Earlier, macOS users were exclusively using  Apple Podcasts.

The new feature will allow users to access Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox to access the Library and the Top Charts. Syncing the Apple ID to the browser is now possible, which could help them resume or queue the episodes where they left off. That would depend on how secure the users feel while accessing the Apple Podcast on a third-party browser. Google Chrome New Update: Tech Giant To Soon Hide Private, Sensitive Data When Screen Sharing on Android.
