Podcasts App in iOS 14.6

My Podcasts app is SIGNIFICANTLY slower at loading (even podcasts that are downloaded) with iOS 14.6. Anyone else have this problem and have a fix?


iOS 14.5 update to Podcasts was bad, but this 14.6 so much worse. I hate it. Thinking of switching to another app.

Hate it! It changed the way I manage my podcast listening. I either keep or delete from my episode list because sometimes I don’t care about the topic of a new episode, and I don’t see a way to manage my organization like that anymore. Plus I can’t get anything to load anyway.

The same for me. My iPhone 11 Pro is getting hot during 10-20 minutes after listening to podcast. Podcast app uses 80% of battery during this time! In fact I can't use Podcast App at all. At the moment my workaround is to subscribe to all my podcasts in Spotify. The same podcasts runs in Spotify for hours without any problems.
