In recent iOS11 released by Apple the podcast
app has changed behaviour noticed by the users. Like in old podcast app would
play episodes in your preferred order (oldest to newest, etc) continuously
without having to add each episode to the “Up Next” playlist. But this podcast continuous
video play seems to be missing from new iOS 11. Podcast app no longer plays
next podcast. App stops playback when a podcast is finished. This seems to be redesign
of the podcast on iOS 11. For many users this iOS “UPDATE” is horrible. The old
app was easy and fast. Two clicks and you were playing your podcast. Surely the
Apple should work on this and put continuous play back to iOS podcast software.
Fix 1 : Create ‘Station’
There is a possible workaround to manage this
removed feature, is to create a ‘station’ for the individual podcast in
question. I had a couple of stations already setup when I updated to iOS 11
where I’d add podcasts of a similar theme e.g. Soccer or technology and
realised that the station settings allow you to choose the playing orders. You
can then choose to play oldest to newest and they continue onto the next
episode. This is a workaround and not a real fix but hope it helps someone.
Fix 2 : Switch to
other apps
Try using Overcast app instead. You can reorder episodes; tell it which
podcasts to play first, even set up separate playlists with different
podcasts. You can download or stream
episodes. It also does continuous play, of course.
