IOS 16: podcast app stuck on “updating library”

I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, rebooting etc. nothing works since I updated to IOS 16.1.1

when I open the app all I get is “updating library”, it’s been nearly 2 days. Any fix for this?

Apple Podcast Listen Now not syncing since updating to iOS 16 I updated to iOS 16 on my phone and now Apple Podcast Listen Now is not syncing correctly to show all new episodes. It is only syncing 2 of 10 daily shows. I have tried unfollowing and re-following, that didn't help. I have tried changing my settings. That didn't help. I have it set to hid all played episodes, so now I am resorting to going through and opening each show in my library to see if there is a new episode so that I can listen to it. This is a pain in my rear. It works correctly on my laptop, so it is clearly the phone update that is the issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Olivia Rodrigo Happier (Explicit) crashing iOS app. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/happier/1560735414?i=1560735557 Running iOS 14.6 on iPhone SE 2 and HomePod 2018, this specific song crashes the iOS app and doesn't play but works on the HomePod, not sure why as other explicit songs don't have this problem. Anyone have any fixes or experiencing this too? Thanks

Deleting and reloading the app only gives a temporary reprieve. It’s not a long term fix.

Didn't help for me. Uninstalling Apple Podcast app because of this. It's ridiculous. Been using it for years.
