Apple Podcasts app no longer works on my iPhone 15 Plus

I can’t play episodes, it no longer updates and I can’t follow shows. I’ve deleted and reinstalled endlessly. I’m on an iPhone 15. Please help, podcasts are my life

Me too. It’s driving me crazy. It stopped working completely after the last iOS update. How can we get Apple to do something about it? Judging by the reviews on the App Store others have this problem too.

Have you tried going into a store? I haven’t yet but I will if it doesn’t resolve soon. If it’s a known fault, I’d rather apple just said so I can move on. I sound really dramatic but I spend so much time listening to podcasts it’s really annoying!

Software update this morning gave me false hope! Updated and still doesn’t work, have you had any luck? I’ve actually cancelled some of my podcast subscriptions as I can’t listen to the paid content as the subscription doesn’t work on other platforms.

It’s a minority language thing - someone else had the same problem with Basque (and, having a massive chip on my shoulder, I conclude that it must be deliberate and political).


I’ve switched mine back to Welsh but I can’t tell yet whether the feeds are updating. Will report back.
