Apple has released the second developer beta for iOS 12 today and one of the new features is improved support for chapters in Apple’s Podcasts app — a new feature to iOS 12. Follow along for how to use this handy addition.
Podcast chapters can be valuable in a variety of situations, but are especially useful for longer episodes, or when you’re trying to find a specific spot to share with someone else or re-listen to content.
Keep in mind that this feature will only be available when it is used by the show you’re listening to.
Note: iOS 12 is currently only available as a developer beta, however, a public beta will likely be released sometime soon.
iOS 12: How to use Podcasts chapters
- Open Podcasts and choose an episode
- When viewing the currently playing episode, swipe down to the bottom and look for Chapters below Description
- If the episode is currently playing, pick a new chapter to jump to it immediately
- If you have the podcast paused, you’ll need to press play manually after choosing a new chapter
A handy little feature of chapters in Podcasts is that it will show you which chapter you’re currently in with a small purple equalizer animation on the right of the chapter (shown in the third and fourth images above).
