How to Create an Apple Podcasts Deep Link, Step by Step
An Apple Podcasts deep link opens your show or a specific episode in the Podcasts app on iPhone. From Instagram, TikTok or X, a podcasts.apple.com link usually opens in a built-in browser, where the listener cannot follow the show or download the episode.
- In Apple Podcasts, open your show or an episode, tap Share and copy the link.
- Paste it into DSLink — in the iOS app or your dashboard on dslink.me — and pick a short, readable slug such as
dslink.me/podcast. - Controleer het resultaat in de live tester op deze pagina voor iPhone en Android voordat je het publiceert.
- Use it in your bio, episode announcements and show notes.
Wat er gebeurt als iemand op je link tikt
- On a phone, DSLink opens the Podcasts app directly on the show or the exact episode. If the visitor is already signed in there, they can act right away instead of logging in again inside a built-in browser.
- If Podcasts is not installed, the visitor is sent to the Apple Podcasts web page instead, so the link never dead-ends.
- Op een desktopcomputer is er geen app te openen, waardoor de bezoeker direct naar de reguliere webpagina gaat met een directe doorverwijzing.
- Geplakt in Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord of X, toont de link een echte voorbeeldkaart in plaats van een anonieme korte URL.
- Elke tik wordt geteld in uw DSLink-statistieken, waarbij bots en crawlers met linkvoorbeelden worden uitgefilterd.
Where Apple Podcasts deep links pay off
- New episode announcements. Send listeners straight to the episode, ready to play.
- Growing followers. In the app, following your show is one tap.
- Guest promotion. Give guests a link that works for their audience too, and track how many listeners they bring.

Apple Podcasts smart links: questions
Does an Apple Podcasts deep link work on Android?
Apple Podcasts has no Android app, so on Android the link opens the Apple Podcasts web page, where the episode can still be played.
Can I link to a single episode?
Yes. Copy the episode link from the Share menu in Apple Podcasts; on iPhone the smart link opens that episode in the Podcasts app.
What happens on a computer?
On a computer there is no app to open, so the visitor goes straight to the Apple Podcasts web page with an instant redirect.
