Google has given its official app for podcasts a significant design refresh.
The update started rolling out to beta users on Friday.
The changes start on the Home tab, where the podcasts carousel is now called Subscriptions.
It allows Google to add a More button that opens a grid view.
It lets you quickly Share or Mark as played.
It saves users from having first to kick off the full episode page to complete the last action.
The Activity tab has now been changed to Library.
It was due to Podcasts being part of an extension of the Google app.
But, now Google Podcasts acts like a separately installed app on your smartphone.
The redesigned Google Podcast Playing UI on iOS now lets you block recommendations.
Podcasts for Android users now let you customize recommendations as well.
Moreover, the Home feed is unchanged that lets you quickly Share or Mark as played.
