  I have used Pocket Casts for years on Android. It has been great. I recently switched to iPhone (15) and it continues to auto-download when auto-downloading is turned off. It is turned off in the main profile settings. It is turned off for the particular podcast. It is still auto-downloading.

  Ideas?

  Hi @docnathan

  We’ve seen such issues occur when migration apps are used to transfer your data from one device to another.

  I am afraid that the only solution in such cases is to reinstall the app, to ensure that no data is corrupted.

  Note: This will clear your downloads and custom settings.

  Glad we could help, @docnathan! Do let us know if a fresh installation of the app fixes the issue with auto downloads.

  Actually, to close the loop… I had new episode auto download turned on. When I found that and turned it off it fixed the problem, obviously. Seems like there is a lot of reduncy in the auto download toggle feature. You should be able to just turn it off, in my opinion.

  But anyway. Its working. Great app. I’ve used it for years and no regrets.

  @docnathan I’m glad to hear the app is working as expected for you now! I’ll go ahead and close the thread, but if you have any other questions later on, feel free to open a new one!
