The playback position on podcasts does not sync between my iPhone and my Mac

Running latest version of iOS on my iPhone 7+ and running latest version of MacOS (Catalina) with the Podcasts app on my MacBook Pro. The problem started around a year ago on older versions of the software. For a long time the playback position synced and then it just suddenly stopped. I have verified that that 'remember playback position' option is checked in iOS and on the Mac.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Podcast Preferences I am trying to sync my podcasts from my phone to my Mac. In the online instructions it says to "In the Podcasts app, choose Podcasts > Preferences > Advanced, then make sure “Sync follows across devices” is selected." For the life of me, I am not able to see in the podcast app where "preferences" is located. Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you

Sync audiobook playback position between PC and iPhone Using Windows 10 iTunes 12.11 and iPhone SE 2nd with iOS 14.4 When I listen to a book on the phone using the iOS book app, then sync with the PC the playback position is correctly set on the PC to the point I stopped listening. However, when I then continue listening to that book on the PC, and then sync with the iPhone, the playback position on the iPhone is not changed. I have looked through the postings here and have checked all the settings recommended on the PC (remember playback information, book info, etc.) but can't find any references to a setting on the iPhone that will affect this issue. What am I missing, or is this a known problem syncing a book you read first on one device then another? Robert
