  I haven’t noticed this happening with podcasts, but my local files always seem to rewind 30 seconds to a minute, even with that option disabled. Is there another setting that controls it, or is it a bug?

  Hi, @fishbulb49! We definitely want to check if this is a bug. So, to start, can you please provide us with the following information?

  • The OS version on your device – you can usually find this from your phone’s Settings
  • Your Pocket Casts app version – you can see this from the Pocket Casts app’s Profile > Settings (gear icon) > About

  I’m on iOS 18.5 and PC 7.92.0.3. I have been using the app for about a year and it has always behaved this way though.

  It would be great if you could select how much rewind you want when enabling this feature.
