Apple Launches New Podcast Analytics Beta for Podcasters
Apple in June promised to introduce new analytics features for podcasters, providing in-episode analytics options for tracking people listening, where in a podcast listeners stop and skip content, whether ads are skipped, and how long people generally listen for.
Starting today, Apple’s podcast analytics feature is rolling out in a beta capacity, reports TechCrunch.
In recent years, podcasts have been growing in popularity, which is what led Apple to finally introduce dedicated analytics tools. Apple also redesigned the Podcasts app entirely in iOS 11, implementing a much improved end user experience with better linearity for podcast episodes.
Apple’s new podcasts analytics feature uses anonymized data to make sure user privacy is preserved while also allowing developers access to data that will improve their podcast performance. Data is available from iOS 11 and iTunes 12.7 users.
Podcasters can access the new analytics options for free starting today in iTunes Connect.
