Podcasts app stuck updating library after iOS 15.7 update

I just updated to iOS 15.7. Update completed without errors.


However the Podcasts app on startup is stuck in “Updating library” state, the only thing visible is a spinner that takes up the whole screen. It’s been ages that it’s updating.


How do I get the app to start? Is it a know. Issue with this update?





iPod, iOS 10

I had to re-install the app to get it to load the library.


Shows are slowly re-appearing, how does it take so darn long for everything to appear again?


One thing I did noticed in this situation is that many of the less main stream shows I listen to had stopped appearing in my feed. When I loaded them in another podcast app, a bunch of episodes that don’t appear in Podcasts showed up. Why is Podcasts app disappearing shows?
