Apr 13, PM in response to dwsaunders In response to dwsaunders Hi, dwsaunders! Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I understand that your podcasts are no longer automatically downloading.
This has occurred since you installed a recent iOS update on your iPhone. I'd be happy to help! First, I recommend checking your Apple Podcast download settings. This can be done as described in the iPhone User Guide here: Change the download settings for a subscribed podcast.
If the automatic download setting is selected, turn it off, then force close Apple Podcasts as detailed here: Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then, turn the automatic download option back on. All done! You have successfully set up your Podcasts app for automatic downloads. That way, the episodes are ready when you are ready! Sounds good to you?
