Q: How do I turn off the "cellular data is turned off for "podcasts"" message?

There are so much interaction-bugs in ios7

No. And this is not a bug, I looks like Apple is selling or sharing data information or tracking some kind of usage patterns and this is there so that you won't keep the setting. It is only annoying if you set it this way. If used as is right out of the box and you don't care about how much data is used, then this won't bother you at all.

For example, I turn on cell data when I use the WAZE app, so that I can navigate Chicago traffic efficiently. I keep it off for Safari and Chrome. So I cannot access data in Safari and Chrome unless I'm in a WIFI zone, however, even though I am in a WIFI zone, it still reminds me that Cell Data is turned off for these programs. The only work arround that has worked is to acknowledge this when it first displays and select "Settings". Although this only works as long as the app is running. Double Click main button to see which apps are currently open. But if you restart the phone, or close the app, then open it again, it reappears.

I wish there was a way to turn off iOS Notification and just go to a LOG. But that would be TOO Computer Person Like of an expectation for Apple Designers.

Thanks, I did manage to figure out how to turn that off. ATT is investigating my abnormally high cellular use ($282 for one month). I always tapped "deny" when a podcast asked permission to use cellular. Also, I'm on an unlimited plan now so this can't happen even if someone IS hacking my phone.

HI everybody!   I think I found the solution!!! :-)

Go into settings, then notification center, for Podcasts change Alert Style to "none".   Voila!!!  No more irritating notices. I hope this helps!! :-)

Turning off the notification for Podcasts only does not notify you. It still will incur expensive cellular charges for podcast downloads.

Also, it does not turn off the notification for hundreds of other apps.

I hope the people at Apple can reincorporate some of the "Jobs" era, where customer/user experience was paramount, or at least in the top echelon. I believe it’s currently a "back seat" consideration. The irritating message that “Cellular Data Is Turned Off For %Appname%”, discussed here in this Apple.com discussions public forum, and Apples refusal to change it, is case in point. This “feature” may be performing as Apple and the cellular carriers designed it too, but it is not what consumers want. In fact, this “Feature” lacks the ability to perform as the consumer asked. If the user SPECIFICALLY takes the time & trouble to learn where the settings are to limit data consumption & control cost, they should not be constantly bombarded by an annoying message regarding a situation they are already financially & painfully aware of, and went so far as to manually turn data use off. Take a moment to recall the Apple ads where the annoyance of the User Account Control feature included in Windows Vista sold many Macs. I guess the tables have turned. So, here are my questions; Are Apple & the wireless carriers colluding to cause users to consume more data? Is there some contract the carriers have over Apple that prohibits this message from being permanently disabled?  If the answer is truly “NO” on both counts then there is a simple solution I would like to suggest. Simply include a checkbox in the setting for each app that cellular data has been turned off for, that instructs iOS to “Do Not Warn That Cellular Data Is Turned Off For %Appname%”, or maybe a “global” setting for all apps, that instructs iOS to “Do Not Warn That Cellular Data Is Turned Off”.  So, I would like to challenge EVERYBODY at Apple to stand up and have the guts to fix this super extremely annoying & downright dangerous alert message. PLEASE give us the ability to permanently dismiss this alert message.

I want to report that my complaint with AT&T prompted them to "investigate". I've always used less than 70 minutes and then the usage shot up to 500 minutes for a number of months. The results of the investigation is I got about $40 knocked off a $182 bill for January.

What is unsettling is that a guy from AT&T called and wanted to know my ICCID. So, I believe they had the wrong one and will be writing a letter to them.

I too have cellular for many apps turned off in system preferences. And yes, the phone makes me aware of the cellular being turned off every time I listen to podcasts I've ALREADY DOWNLOADED!

Totally off the subject, except for Apple arrogance, I regret buying the iPad Mini. You cannot email to groups, only one address at a time, and there is no flash. What camera comes with no flash?

Indeed

works only to remove the message, still it tryes to download podcast anyway.

So need to get back to previous state and annoying message.

My idea is not even to preserve traffic,

but i have downloaded podcats # 1,4,7 for example, and i want to listen to them, without tryng to play all that was in between via 3g, and without app reminding that i disabled cellular data for it.

this Podcast app is killing me....

This annoys me too. Apple, do something! I hope someone posts a real and tested fix.

I don't use podcasts, but I was able to turn the annoying notifications off on my apps. I have an AT&T iPhone 5s. Settings -> Notification Center -> "App of Choice" -> Show in Notification Center (slide to green/on). Then the message shows up in the Notification Center, instead of in the middle of your screen while you're trying to use your app. I hope this works for you all, as well.

Hi Jenn. This worked in my 4S, but within the Notification Center, I chose "none" on the Podcast app instead of the default "banners", and shut off "Badge App Icon" and "Sounds".

Thanks very, very much!

We'll it turned out it didn't work, but it seemed to work at first. I'm constantly interrupted when walking, to ask if I want to join a wireless network, and then to let me know that cellular is turned off. So, I have to take off my right glove (if it's cold) to get rid of these messages.

The notification is what people have a problem with. Turning off cellular data access for Podcast or Music does in fact turn it off, it doesn't secretly use your data or anything. But it does constantly pop up with a message that says "hey data is turned off for this app!" interrupting what the user is doing.

Apple fixed this bug in the latest update iOS 7.1.1 on April 23, 2014. THANK YOU APPLE!
