iOS 11 podcast autoplay

Anyone figured out a way around Apple ditching podcast autoplay/play next in ios11? I’ll listen to multiple episodes on a run and found out the hard way this feature was jettisoned after updating my phone. I know there’s a “play next” feature, but can’t find a way to view what is scheduled to play next. It’s annoying to have to go through several screens to set it up and have no way to back track and see what was entered. Why would Apple get rid of such a simple interface for this?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11

This flummoxed me, too. When you're looking at the episode that is currently playing--the Now Playing screen, though it's not labeled as such--keep swiping up to beneath the Episode Notes and you'll see (editable) Up Next.

It doesn’t work neither.

It alsways stops after the first play.

It doesn’t work at all. The result is always the same: it stops after the first play.

Agreed, this podcast update has been terrible. I find this new update much harder to use. Please update this app Apple :) thanks!

How do I complain to apple about this? I honestly find the app unusable now and will be switching to Spotify

Thanks for posting the site to create feedback directly to Apple instead of just complaining to ourselves.

Does anyone know of a podcast app to download does have auto play?

Just tested again and works fine on iphone 7+ ios 11.03, even plays further when podcast running in background (did not yet test multiple hours, days in a row).

This isn't solved! That only lets you play episodes from one podcast. That's not a substitute for the old feature.

Agree! Plain and simple this update ruined the app. Autoplay.... simple and straightforward. Bring it back Apple!
