apple podcast app crashing

Trying to play podcasts on my Apple Podcast app on iphone xs max and the app keeps crashing. I've tried deleting the app and re-uploading it, but still having the same result. Any advice?

Same issue I’m having. I have the iPhone 11 pro max on the latest iOS (13.1.3). Whatever podcast it is, whatever mode of listening, every few minutes it stops playing and goes to the home screen. I though it was because I had screen time enabled, so I turned that off but it kept crashing. Restarted the phone, kept crashing. Tried to keep the screen display awake and on the podcast app but it crashed anyway.


My iphone7 is on 12.4.1 and the podcast app is also crashing on that device. I changed the playback speed to 1x and it stopped crashing. Then I changed the playback speed to 1x on my regular phone and it played for a good amount of time without crashing. The speed is back to 1.5x now like I usually have it and it still hasn't crashed in about 20 minutes.


Can't promise its gonna continue to work or that it even works but try changing your playback speed to 1x.
