Apple has added new service features for its Podcasts app (fave.co/3RM2jZO) that give users access to more content, thanks to the newly included ability to tie shows to in-app subscriptions, Apple Music, and Apple News+a. Apple is also offering Apple News+ Narrated, a new show that narrates articles in Apple News+.

Available now, Apple Podcasts has over 60 podcasts for subscribers to Apple Music, Apple News+, and the Calm (fave.co/3tkinkA) and Lingokids (fave.co/3ZHgoc3) apps. When running iOS 17, iPadOS 17, or macOS Sonoma, users can launch the Podcasts app and subscriptions will automatically link to the app-a splash screen will display what subscriptions and apps have been connected. Users can also manually connect by visiting the app's channel page in Podcasts.
