They can quickly understand how recently a new episode was published, and identify “early access” subscriber episodes that are made available to them as part of their subscription. Listeners can see how many unplayed episodes are available for them at the top of each show page and from the Recently Updated section of Library.

Episodes saved to your library will already be added to the queue, but you’ll be able to touch and hold a show’s artwork to remove it. Up Next is also being given extra functionality.
