How can I stop my Podcasts from auto-queuing? Any suggestions on how to stop podcast from automatically going into the Up Next queue? In addition, they are also being marked just played when they go into that queue. The continuous playback is off and fortunately has stopped, but this is very irritating. To make sure I don’t lose anything I download all of my new releases. Thanks for any fixes. I am updated to iOS 18. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Continuous Playback of podcasts When one podcast finishes another starts, sometimes its a different program. I have turned off 'Continuous Playback'. It seems to be a new feature, maybe with the last update. Can I disable/turn it off?

Why are Apple Podcasts playing a random show by default when the current podcast ends? I am so frustrated listening to your podcast app. I typically listen to many episodes from one specific show, one after another. I don’t know if it was the iOS 18 update back in 2024, but for a long time now, each time an episode from a specific show ends, another show will play right afterwards— a show that I do not want to listen to. Even if I manually remove every single show from the Up Next area, the next day, there will be a whole bunch of random shows back in there. The only way to solve this annoyance is to uncheck continuous play. That doesn’t stop the random shows from appearing up next. It just stops those random shows from automatically playing after the episode that I am listening to ends. Less Posted [Edited by Moderator]

Most likely your bluetooth is connected to the car, and your car is set to bluetooth mode. This is pretty standard, if you like to connect your phone for music. If you would like to listent to the radio either turn off bluetooth, change the mode on your stereo system, or go into apple music on your phone and play some music.
