Apple’s Big Changes For Podcast Chapters And Links
Send us a textWith iOS 26.2, Apple Podcasts will auto-generate chapters, support more chapter standards, and introduce timed links that surface as a banner at the right moment. We break down what this means for creators, how it compares to YouTube and Spotify, and why this move echoes Apple’s transcript strategy: respect what you provide, fill the gap when you don’t, and let you opt out if needed.
