iOS 15 Podcasts app - Up Next gone screwy
NB: I listen to a lot of podcasts.
Since updating to iOS 15, the Up Next queue is not working correctly. So I add all the upcoming episodes I plan to listen to from various different casts to Up Next in that order. But later I find most of those episodes have disappeared from Up Next -- only a single podcast's episodes remain. What's more, those episodes don't have the handle that allows you to re-order them, as when you add them to the queue manually.
I tried unsubscribing from that one podcast and deleting all its episodes, then re-subscribing. Unfortunately the same thing happened. I experimented with a different podcast app but didn't like its lack of features, and I don't want to spend days or even weeks working out which app I prefer. (My favourite Android app, Podcast Addict, unfortunately isn't available on iOS.)
It's quite inconvenient to have the queue obliterated for no reason, needless to say. My preferred order is to listen to each podcast episode in the order they came out, oldest to newest. Would it make a difference if I let the program just plow through playing all of the episodes of that one podcast? Will I have to give up on Up Next and just start playing each episode manually? Is this a known bug that will be fixed in the next release? Any input appreciated.
