Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find the cancel download option on my iPhone?

Make sure you're looking in the Downloads section of the Podcasts app. If you're using a third-party app, the cancel option might be labeled differently or located in the queue or download management section.

Will canceling a podcast download delete the already downloaded parts?

No, canceling a download only stops the remaining parts from downloading. Any segments that have already been downloaded will remain on your device unless you manually delete them.

How do I prevent podcasts from automatically downloading in the future?

Go to Settings > Podcasts, then toggle off 'Automatic Downloads.' You can also adjust this setting within the Podcasts app by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Podcasts and disabling automatic downloads.
