Podcast Analytics begins gathering data as soon as users play content in the Podcasts app (iOS 11 or later), in iTunes 12.7 or later (macOS and Windows), or on HomePod. Apple only displays data from users who agreed to share their diagnostics and usage information with providers. All data is aggregated, and no personally identifiable information for any customer is shown.
Note:
- To collect data, the duration of a play event must be at least five seconds.
- To display data, more than five unique devices must play the show or episode content.
- Podcast Analytics date range data begins at 12:00am and ends at 11:59pm (UTC). Diagnostics and usage information might be delayed by up to 72 hours.
So by no means all the people who listen to an episode are counted.
