Good afternoon HiYaBmore,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you are not able to download one or more audiobooks to your iPhone 8. Podcasts are downloading over Wi-Fi, but not audiobooks. Because they are large files, it can take a while for audiobooks to download, especially if you are downloading other media at the same time. Can you try restarting your iPhone to refresh the internet connection, and then try just downloading one audiobook to test? Check to make sure you have enough storage on your iPhone for this file, and make sure you have updated to the most recent version of iOS. Here are some resources to help you with this.


How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.
