Multi-select is a feature that allows you to select and apply actions to episodes in bulk. It’s very useful for managing your podcast episodes.
Here are places in the app where you can use multi-select:
- A podcast’s page
- A playlist
- Profile > Downloads
- Profile > Files
- Profile > Starred
- Profile > Listening History
- Bookmarks tabs
- Up Next queue
Multi-select in the Up Next queue works a bit differently. For everywhere else, you can activate multi-select by long-pressing on an episode. Long-pressing on the same episode again will bring up options to “Select all above” or “Select all below.”
Once you’re done selecting episodes, you can apply the actions at the top of the screen:
- Download/Remove download
- Archive/Unarchive
- Mark as played/Mark as unplayed
- Play next
- Play last
- Star/Unstar
- Delete (only available in Profile > Files)
While in multi-select mode, you can customize the toolbar with your 4 most used actions and the rest are then only a tap away. To customize, tap the three dot menu in the multi-select toolbar > select ✎ Edit and hold the ≡ handle to drag and drop the actions to your preferred location > tap <- back to save the changes.
In the Up Next queue, you can click on the blue check-mark icon at the upper-right corner of the screen to activate multi-select.
After selecting an episode in your queue, long-pressing on it will bring up options to “Select all above” or “Select all below.” You can also click the three-dot icon to “Select all” or “Select none.”
Once you’re done selecting episodes in your Up Next queue, you can apply the actions at the top of the screen:
- Archive
- Remove from Up Next
- Download
- Mark as played
- Move to top
- Move to bottom
