@ted_duffield That sounds like you were actually playing it on the watch — as in, from the watch's built-in speaker. (Or some AirPods that were connected to the watch, maybe.)

@WirlOfWirls Can you tell me what podcast(s) it's not working for, or use the in-app Report Detection Issue feature?

You Might Also Like: Overcast's new Promos & Reruns filter!

In the latest update, you can now skip reruns of old episodes and promos for other shows ("you might like", “introducing”, etc.) that some podcasts insert into their feeds.

It’s a global setting called Promos & Reruns, and it can be customized per-podcast.

Aaannddd… the number-one customer request:

EPISODE IMAGES! A surprisingly big undertaking, but it's finally here.

Check it out in the App Store today.

If you're on the TestFlight beta, you may see disruption in the new per-episode-image feature over the next few days due to, uh… "an issue with an upstream partner".

This should not affect podcasts' main images.

Version 2025.11 is now in the App Store! Major changes:

- Brand new downloader for more reliable downloads

- Better streaming, especially in slow or spotty network conditions (it won't kick you out and make you start over on failures anymore)

- Improved Apple Watch background sync and downloads

- Detects if your ad-blocking router, VPN, or DNS is blocking a download and tells you how to fix it

It’s one of those updates with zero new features… but huge upgrades to everyday functionality.

@netpagz @marcoarment That's an iOS 26 bug, unfortunately. Rebooting the phone fixes it.

@billrey @avakining It indeed does use Icon Composer, and every layer is rendered with the glass effect — it's just subtle.

I chose not to make the glass icon look radically different, since it has looked approximately like this for a decade and people really like it.

@dimitribouniol That should be fixed in today's beta.

The rewrite fixed a lot of issues, but I hear you on some big remaining trouble areas.

Now that the iOS 26 update is done, I'm focusing significantly on quality improvements.

First up: today's beta brings massive improvements to downloads, streaming, and Apple Watch background updates.
