Episodes now join up in every direction. Add a solo episode to an interview, an interview to a solo episode, or two interviews together — until now only solo-to-solo worked. On an interview the material goes to the Host lane and the Guest lane keeps the same length, so Mute and Solo keep working exactly as before. "Add recording" now asks where it should go: "At the end", or "Here" at the playhead. Nothing you already recorded is moved. INSERT SOUND Applause, laughter, a sting between two questions — now anywhere, not just at the top and tail. 40 sounds ship with the app. A sound sits ON TOP of your recording: the episode keeps playing underneath, its length does not change, and nothing is written into the recording — so you can take a sound away again at any time. RECORDING WITH A GUEST • Your recording screen now tells you when your guest's recording has stopped. Their browser stops at a size limit while yours can run on for hours, and until now you had no way of seeing it happen. • Premium is confirmed when a joint session STARTS, not when the two tracks are merged an hour later. A session that begins is allowed to finish. • Stop asks twice in a guest session — it ends two people's recording, and in the expanded Dynamic Island it is a wide target. Solo takes keep one tap. • An invitation now has two clocks: your guest can join for 48 hours, and you keep 7 days to bring the recording back. • On mobile data you are told what an hour of recording together uploads. FASTER, AND MORE HONEST • Preview plays live instead of rendering first. On a 23-minute interview with a sound added, the wait before playback went from 79 seconds to none. • A merged episode is no longer treated as edited — a 44-minute interview used to spend 20 minutes preparing itself before it would play. • "Original" undoes your cuts without undoing a merge. • The same recording cannot be added twice, and you see the new length before you add anything. • Tapping a segment highlights it in interviews too, not only in solo episodes. The app now speaks 18 languages. Czech, Danish, Finnish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish and Simplified Chinese join English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese and Turkish.
