YouTube announced last year that it has more than <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/02\/26\/youtube-surpasses-1-billion-monthly-podcast-viewers\/\">1 billion monthly active viewers<\/a> of podcast content. Spotify said last November that it has half a million video podcasts, which nearly 400 million users have watched. As for Netflix, the streaming giant has partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/12\/16\/netflix-doubles-down-on-video-podcasts-with-iheartmedia-deal\/\">iHeartMedia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/14\/spotifys-video-podcasts-are-coming-to-netflix-next-year\/\">Spotify<\/a> to bring video podcasts to its platform.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bringing an enhanced video podcast viewing experience to its app, Apple is aiming to keep users from turning to rival platforms to watch their favorite shows.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwenty years ago, Apple helped take podcasting mainstream by adding podcasts to iTunes, and more than a decade ago, we introduced the dedicated Apple Podcasts app,\u201d said Eddy Cue, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Services, in a press release. \u201cToday marks a defining milestone in that journey. By bringing a category-leading video experience to Apple Podcasts, we\u2019re putting creators in full control of their content and how they build their businesses, while making it easier than ever for audiences to listen to or watch podcasts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the new video experience will officially launch in the spring, the update is available to test starting this week as part of betas for iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By bringing an enhanced video podcast viewing experience to its
