Storage management
Pocket Casts features a number of storage tools to help manage your episodes including options to:
- Archive episodes after playing
- Auto-archive inactive episodes
- Delete downloaded episodes
- Streaming instead of downloading
To access auto-archiving options
- Tap Profile
- Tap the Settings cog
- Select Auto Archive
Here you can configure how Pocket Casts should help you to clean up old episodes.
- Played Episodes: choose whether episodes should be archived as soon as they are finished playing, at some point later, or never.
- Inactive Episodes: episodes are considered inactive when you haven’t played, downloaded or un-archived within a given period of time.
If you don’t want to worry about downloading, you can tell the app to stream by default instead:
Stream by default
- Tap Profile
- Tap the Settings cog
- Select Playback
- Set Default Row Action to Play
