• Chapters are a great way to navigate through podcasts; and now, Apple Podcasts has announced automated chapters for almost every episode from the release of iOS 26.2 - which we’d expect to see released to the public next month.
  
  
  
  
  • We’ve a full FAQ for creators who want to see Apple’s automated chapters; how to use chapters in the app; how to opt out; and how to make your own creator-produced chapters instead. We’re also here to help if you have questions (just hit reply) and if you’re a Podnews supporter, feel free to ask us to see how your show looks. Happy to help!
  
  
  
  


• Apple Podcasts also announced “timed links”, a system that can automatically pop up a link to a podcast, book, music track, news story, stock information, or much else within the Apple ecosystem, which you or your guests mention. These will appear automatically if the system recognises something; or, you can use links within chapters. Again, our FAQ contains more info - you can’t use it for third-party websites, nor for app store links; however it apparently does work with affiliate links if you’re using those; and it’ll be really good for links to other podcasts.
  
  
  
  
  • Want to see automated timed links working? The Podnews Daily podcast’s “Podcast News” section looks like this video - many of the shows we mention automatically pop up on the screen. Magic.
  
  
  
  


• These Apple Podcasts enhancements have been accompanied by new terms of service, which you’ll need to accept next time you use Apple Podcasts Connect.
