How to fix Apple Podcasts app not playing or showing episodes on iPhone? Ive had some support from Apple to try to resolve this but it seems to be a wider problem. Unable to play a podcast unless downloaded, and episodes not appearing when i click on a show. It did not resolve with the latest update as they hoped, so please- lets hope something is gonna be done!! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

All podcasts fail to download on iOS 18.4 Every night when I get on WiFi I previously opened the podcast app and downloaded all of the day’s episodes to listen to the next day. I noticed on April 1st they all failed. A quick google search said to check updates so naturally I upgraded to iOS 18.4, but the issue persisted. The app still loads all of the episodes of multiple podcasts that posted for the day, they all begin downloading, but once the little purple circle closes I get the error message “unable to download, try again later.” I’ve restarted my phone a bunch, I’ve turned off or changed around multiple podcast settings (and changed back), and nothing helps. Am I alone? Some people on Reddit have talked about this issue, but it seems fairly isolated unless people aren’t noticing they’re streaming their podcasts over cellular. I haven’t tried deleting and reinstalling where it’s a stock app I wasn’t sure if that would help at all.

Can't download podcasts after updating to iOS 16.5 Just updated iPhone last night to 16.5, and am no longer able to download any podcasts. No issues with the app itself, still shows podcasts I follow, episodes listened to (though deleted). However, if I try to play one while on wifi, I get an error that the podcast episode is unavailable. Worse, when I download one to listen to later, I get "Unable to download podcast." Doesn't matter which podcast I select. I checked all settings in the app and in Settings (and despite being on wifi, I have it set to cellular data on), force quit the app & relaunched, did a hard reboot on the phone, deleted the Podcasts app and reinstalled... googled... searched here... and am at a complete loss. Any suggestions? Anyone else having issues with the app in the latest update? Thanks -
