Having issues with Podcasts and Apple Carplay

So, I download episodes of a podcast on my phone. But when CarPlay comes on, it selects the entire library of podcasts, including all of the episodes I've already listened to. Even when I select the Download tab from my phone, it will play an episode from that list immediately, but if I turn off the car and turn it back on again, the Podcasts showing in CarPlay reverts to the entire series and selects an episode I've already listened to. Is there a solution to this?

cwilson284:


Are you downloading directly to your iPhone or are you downloading to your computer (perhaps using iTunes) and then syncing to your iPhone?


Are you using this setting?

Remove Played Downloads: Automatically delete downloaded episodes 24 hours after you play them.


When I became frustrated with Apple's Podcast app for managing podcasts, eventually gave up and switched to using the Overcast app instead.


Good luck!

Remove Played Downloads: Automatically delete downloaded episodes 24 hours after you play them.


Hide Played Episodes: Hide episodes that you fully played or marked as played.

(This setting only applies to shows you follow.)
