Q: Download podcasts

Using iTunes I have recently subscribed to and downloaded multiple podcasts.  I selected the episodes that I wanted and synced my iPhone.  Under Podcasts on my phone most of the episodes have a cloud symbol next to them and are only available for streaming.  I would prefer to have the episodes saved to my iPhone to save data usage but don't want to have to individually select all 100 episodes to tell them to download.  Is there a setting that I can fix or a way to make it put physical copies on my phone?

    Hi Jas42,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with podcasts on your iPhone. If you already have the podcasts in question downloaded in iTunes on your computer and would like to sync/transfer them to your iPhone (as opposed to just the streaming/download link that you're currently seeing), you may want to double-check the steps and process outlined in the following article:
