Media controls missing in podcast app under 15.7.7

Since iOS 15.7.7 was installed, I’m missing media controls such as FF and rewind on the iPhone podcast app. Anyone know how to fix this?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Hi there nlkaren,


In iOS 15.7.7, you'll see the option to jump back 15 seconds or jump forward 30 seconds, rather than fast forward and rewind. You can change each amount of time for those controls if you'd like. Have a look at this information about playback controls in Podcasts:


Use the playback controls
Open the Now Playing screen, then use any of the following controls.

the Play button
Play

the Pause button
Pause

the 15 Seconds Rewind button
Jump back 15 seconds
To change the number of seconds you skip back, go to Settings > Podcasts, then tap Back.

the 30 Seconds Fast Forward button
Jump forward 30 seconds
To change the number of seconds you skip forward, go to Settings > Podcasts, then tap Forward.

the Playback Speed button
Choose a faster or slower playback speed

the Playback Destination button
Stream the audio to other devices

the More button
Choose more actions such as sharing or downloading the episode

You'll find this and more information here: Listen to podcasts on iPhone - Apple Support


Take care.
