An Apple Podcasts bug is making listeners miss the latest launched episodes of their favourite reveals. Seemingly impacting some vital proportion of reveals that launched new episodes yesterday, the bug implies that the Apple Podcasts app doesn’t present the newest episode within the person’s library, nor will it robotically obtain it and seem within the Up Subsequent queue.
There’s a workaround that entails manually discovering the precise episode within the search tab, however that requires the person to bear in mind {that a} new episode has been launched within the first place …
The hero picture is an instance of what occurs. As you possibly can see from the left screenshot, the episode checklist for ‘The Ankler’ podcast doesn’t embody the printed 16 February episode. Refreshing the display makes no distinction. The Apple Podcasts app library is blissfully unaware of its existence.
It’s unclear precisely what number of reveals it impacts, but it surely seems to be a big quantity, with a littering of complaints on social media. Personally, the bug bothered a minimum of two of the reveals I subscribe to; I spotted this morning that the brand new Friday episodes from each reveals weren’t showing within the app.
This seems to be a problem with the Apple Podcasts backend, and hopefully Apple can deploy a server repair that may transparently resolve the issues.
In the interim, the workaround is to manually search the title of the podcast in query within the Search tab, utilizing the Episodes filter toggle. You may then scroll down the outcomes and discover the brand new episode (as proven within the rightmost screenshot above). You may press Play from right here and it’ll replace your library listings and Up Subsequent queue, as you’d usually count on.
