Thanks for listening with Brink and sharing your feedback.

Brink is reimagined for Duo, along with a bunch of improvements.

• Your Inbox, your way. Browse episodes with date filters, choose your sorting preferences, and hide episodes already in Up Next.
• Keep favorite shows a priority. Star shows from their podcast page and keep your Priority selections synced.
• Make Home yours. Choose which sections appear, with refinements to recent releases, Weekly Catch-Up, calendar recommendations, and expected release times.
• Raise to Ear. Enable this optional feature to listen privately through your iPhone’s earpiece. Raise your phone to your ear to listen, then lower it to pause.
• Find more of what interests you. Search with natural-language descriptions or an image. Improved ranking, spelling suggestions, follow controls, and search recovery help you find shows and episodes.
• More dependable playback. Fixes improve episode loading, resuming, seeking, audio effects, and silence detection. Autoplay can continue with eligible older episodes.
• A more reliable Up Next. Queue updates better preserve your listening position, episode order, and removals during syncing and connection interruptions.
• Stronger syncing and recovery. Improvements help keep followed shows, listening history, completed episodes, preferences, and library state consistent across devices.
• Refined podcast pages. Updated artwork, clearer show information, season and episode numbering, improved filters, and release schedules that better reflect each show’s publishing rhythm.
• Easier-to-read transcripts. Improved sentence grouping, spacing, and handling of pauses make transcripts more comfortable to follow.
• Improved video and sharing. Refinements to native video podcast playback, player layouts, share artwork, share cards, and clip-sharing behavior.
• A smoother everyday experience. Improvements to Home scrolling, carousel gestures, navigation, artwork loading, library updates, and player transitions.
• Polish across your devices. Layout refinements for larger screens.
• Helpful finishing touches. New contextual listening tips, updated translations and Siri vocabulary, clearer empty states, improved notification dismissal, and privacy preference safeguards.
