Filter and icon appearance bugs
-
- Pocket Casts version: 7.68
- Android 11
- Device: MEIZU 17
- My filter for all starred episodes (unplayed, ongoing and played) clears the played episodes and cannot be restored, yet the starred episodes list under My Account tab stays unchanged. (It’s unclear if it also removes the starred ongoing episodes)
- Every time I change the icon appearance in the settings, a new pocket casts icon appears on my phone’s desktop.

2. Every time I change the icon appearance in the settings, a new pocket casts icon appears on my phone’s desktop.
This is how icons on Android work. On Android, switching to a non-default app icon will result in there being two icons in your app drawer. This behavior is expected because adding alternate icons in Android currently requires creating a new one. You can certainly have only one icon show up on your phone’s home screen, however.

Filters work differently from the list of episodes under “My Account”. You’re right, the episodes listed under My Account will stay unchanged no matter if you listen to an episode or not. Filters, as you’ve discovered, can be modified to include unplayed, in progress or played episodes. That’s why you’re seeing something different in Filters and under My Account. Please let me know if you have any questions.
