Podcasts automatically download
On the Apple podcast app my podcast episodes are automatically downloading and in my settings it says it’s turned off… I want it to stop
The pic below shows the Podcasts app settings at iPhone Settings>Podcasts (left frame), the Station settings (middle) and the Show settings (right). Disregard the options selected. Choose your permutations as you wish.
Be sure Hide Played Episodes and Remove Played Downloads are toggled On in the Podcasts app settings and Show settings. You might also Limit the number of Episodes as well. Toggle Unplayed Only in Station settings, if you use Stations
You can also find Apple’s Support info on Podcasts at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201859 and in the Podcasts section of the iOS and Mac user manuals at https://support.apple.com/manuals
