Q: Podcast's not downloading

My podcasts on iphone 6 have stopped downloading.  All new podcasts are stuck on "preparing to download" but never actually downloading.

 

Is this a known error?

    Having this problem too. It does work to restart phone but it's getting a little irritating having to restart my phone 5 times a day. Every. Single. Time.

    I've had the same issue, ever since downloading ios 10. I've upgraded to 10.0.02, and the issue persists. Rebooting my iphone every time I want to download a podcast is a not a very suitable solution.

    You don't have to reboot your phone.  Just go to the menu for each podcast and "Cancel Download", and then pick "Download Episode".

    I tried. It did not work. I try everything before restarting. I delete and restart, I turn my internet off and on again. Nothing works. I didn't think it was possible for them to make the podcast app wise but they managed it.

    yeah that works, but i don't want to have to manually download every podcast i listen to. totally defeats the purpose of subscribing.

    I've had the same problem since IOS 10. The temporary fix works but is kindof a pain to do for every podcast.

    What i've found that seems to work permanently, so far, is to delete the podcast app and then reinstall it.

    I did this yesterday and everything uptated fine this morning but be aware that it wipes out your settings and you'll have to do a little housekeeping afterwards.
