And it is that everything indicates that we are facing a problem that is directly related to Apple podcasts and not with the content that its users add or with the users who consume this content from the Apple application itself.
Finally it seems that they are taking action on the matter and to find the fault what is being done from Apple is limit the uploading of new programs for a few days to avoid this research directly impacting creators with uploads slower than expected or similar. The dates and times in which these closings are discussed are left below.
November and December in several days
The months of November and December are the ones chosen to carry out these official reports and investigations by Apple, so after realizing that the data does not match between Podcast Analytics and the reports of decrease in reproductions. Apple warns not to upload content during these days to avoid possible publication delays or similar:
- From November 16, 2018 to November 26, 2018
- From December 21, 2018 to January 2, 2019
So during these periods announced by the Cupertino company itself, it is best that those who want to upload content arm themselves with patience since possibly the service does not work quite well or even directly does not work to prevent you from submitting content. From Apple itself they will contact all the people who have ever published a podcast from Apple Podcasts by sending an email warning of the problem and the days that we have mentioned above.
Hello, does that mean that the podcasts to which I have subscribed will not be updated on those dates? Type of programs of Cadena Ser, Onda Cero, etc.
Thank you
