Request: Auto Play option without having to empty the Up Next queue
-
Hi, this is my one and only request that I miss dearly from other apps. I would love the option to play an episode from a certain podcast, and then just keep binging it without having to manually add the episodes to my Up Next queue. I have so many things in my queue already, that I don’t want to add a full season of whatever I’m listening to (I don’t know how many episodes I’m going to listen to when I start). This is specially useful when I’m doing things like cooking or have my hands full and I don’t want to be adding just a couple of episodes at a time
Thanks!

Hi there! This sounds like our Autoplay feature. If you have the latest version of the app you can activate this option in settings. Go to Profile > Settings (click the gear or cog icon) > General. Scroll down to Autoplay, then toggle it on.
If your Up Next queue is empty, the app will play the next episode in the episode list.
Let us know if you have any other questions about this. -
Hi, yes, but I want to be able to use Autoplay even if I have things in my Up Next queue. The whole point is being able to stay in a podcast while keeping my Up Next of other random episodes
