As of a week or so ago, on iOS 26.6, I can no longer download podcast episodes in the Apple podcast app. When I try, nothing happens. I’ve tried restarting, waiting a day to try again, deleting old episodes, making sure I have space, WiFi and cellular data… nothing works. Please help!
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26
To fix unresponsive podcast downloads in the podcasts app on iOS, delete and reinstall the app, toggle your library sync, or unfollow and re-follow the affected shows. Since you already tried basic restarts and storage checks, the issue is likely a corrupted local app cache or a stalled account sync state.
