I had the same problem, but found the solution for my iPhone 6s. Hopefully, it’ll work for you.


Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Enter Screen Time Passcode > Allowed Apps


You should see the Podcasts app. Turn on the app. The app should now be on your homescreen.


Hope this works for you, also.
