  I regularly download mp3s from around the web and sideload them into Pocket Casts by sharing them from the Files app. I updated to iOS 18 yesterday, and now the share function doesn’t work. I select Pocket Casts from the available apps in the Share pop-up menu, but then nothing happens after it disappears. Typically Pocket Casts would load and I could edit/save the file into the app.

  I did find a workaround: The Files section of the Pocket Casts let me pull in a file by browsing my phone storage folder structure. So at least I can still get stuff sideloaded. But the push in method from another app is still my first choice, and the broken functionality should be fixed.
