Minor bugs and glitches, insufficient permissions, and corrupt network settings are the most common reasons that can prevent Apple Podcasts from downloading your podcasts locally to your iPhone. Below, you'll find nine troubleshooting tips that should prompt Apple Podcasts to start downloading your episodes properly again.
Temporary glitches within the Podcasts app may prevent it from downloading podcasts to your iPhone. Rule that out by force-quitting and re-opening the app. Start by opening your iPhone's App Switcher. If your iPhone supports Face ID, simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause for a moment to bring it up.
If not, double-press the Home button instead. Then, select the Podcasts app card and swipe it upward to force quit it. Wait for a moment and re-open the app. If you can't download any podcasts while not connected to Wi-Fi, then you must confirm that the Podcasts app has the permissions required to use cellular data.
Additionally, you must make sure that the switch next to Block Downloads Over Cellular is disabled. The Podcasts app may also run into download issues if there are problems on the server-side. You can check if that's the case by heading over to Apple's System Status page. If you see any issues listed next to multiple services such as Apple ID, Apple Music, or App Store there's no specific listing for the Podcasts app , wait for some time until Apple gets things back online.
Restarting an iPhone is a common troubleshooting method that can help resolve temporary glitches with your iPhone in general. Then, swipe to the right to turn the device off. Press and hold down the Side button again to restart it. If your iPhone uses Touch ID, just hold down the Side button only and swipe to the right to power down the device. If you experience issues with automatic episode downloads, in particular, you must confirm that the Podcasts app's download preferences are set up properly.
Start by opening the Settings app. Then, tap Podcasts and scroll down to the section labeled Episode Downloads. Tap Refresh Every and set an appropriate auto-download time frame. You can also manage the auto-download preferences for each subscribed show. Select a show from the Podcasts app's Library section, tap the three-dot icon to the top of the screen, tap Settings, and tap Download Episodes. Then, tweak the settings to your liking.
Usually, setting OpenDNS — which is an extremely popular DNS service — can help resolve connectivity issues that prevent the Podcasts app from working properly. Then, enter the following DNS servers into the slots below and tap Save. Reply I have this question too I have this question too Me too Me too. Helpful answers Drop Down menu.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I understand that your podcasts are no longer automatically downloading. This has occurred since you installed a recent iOS update on your iPhone. I'd be happy to help! First, I recommend checking your Apple Podcast download settings. This can be done as described in the iPhone User Guide here: Change the download settings for a subscribed podcast. If the automatic download setting is selected, turn it off, then force close Apple Podcasts as detailed here: Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Then, turn the automatic download option back on. Even though the title of the article doesn't describe your issue exactly, the steps in it are still relevant to troubleshoot, since the app is not functioning the way you expect it to.
Complete all steps in the article you can skip the step about downloading another app from the App Store , and if you still continue to have trouble, reach out to Apple Support directly.
