Something weird is happening with Apple Podcasts since the iOS 18 update. After I finish an episode, it automatically jumps to a different episode, puts it in play mode without actually starting it, and then marks it as played. This is super frustrating because I usually hide played episodes, and now it's hiding episodes I haven’t even listened to. Can someone at Apple please support me with this?
Yes, so frustrating. Not fixed in 18.0.1. In 18, Apple Podcasts has several major bugs and it is sad the bugs made it to the final release. Apple Podcasts is marking episodes as played before being played, it drops random episodes from my queue into the player, marking it played, so it disappears from my queue causing me to miss episodes. It is continuously.playing episodes when that option is turned off.

I have the same problem. As soon as the episode loads it is marked as played so if I change to something else it disappears from my list. So frustrating. I just submitted a bug report about it. Please everyone do the same if you have not already. We need this fixed.
Is anyone from Apple even available in this community to provide an update on this? This is a major bug affecting many users, and it’s incredibly frustrating how long it's taking Apple to fix it. Extremely disappointed in the lack of response.
Before iOS 18 my podcasts would have to get to the last few minutes before being flagged as 'Played'. Since iOS 18, after only a few seconds of playback, it flags as 'Played'. If leave the podcast and go back to it at a later time it's gone from 'Home'. Yes, there may be work-arounds, but I shouldn't have to do this.
Yes, this is VERY frustrating.
I’ve also still experienced this issue and I agree it happened during the switch to 18 clear as day!
Fixed in iOS 18.1 according to Mac Rumors.
"iOS 18.1 also fixes several other bugs, including a Podcasts issue that could cause unplayed episodes to be marked as played"
Apple Podcast incorrectly marks episodes as played
