Selection Action Icons Hidden by the Mini Player
On the new Liquid Glass design (iOS 27 beta), some users may notice that when they select episodes in Up Next or a playlist, the action icons at the bottom of the screen — such as Archive and other multi-select actions — are partially hidden behind the mini player (action buttons cut off, can’t reach the archive button, the selection toolbar is covered by the now-playing bar). This appears to be a bug in the iOS 27 beta (Apple’s pre-release software) rather than in Pocket Casts itself, and it does not affect your episodes, your account, or playback. Because it originates in the beta version of iOS, the behaviour may change as Apple releases further updates. Our team is monitoring the issue.

Bookmarks Not Loading on the Web Player
Some users may find that the Bookmarks page in the web player (pocketcasts.com) fails to load and shows an “Oops… something went wrong” error (bookmarks page won’t open, bookmarks flash on screen then disappear). Your bookmarks are safe and are not affected. They remain available and in sync in the mobile and desktop apps, so in the meantime you can view and use your bookmarks in the iOS, Android, or desktop apps. Our team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.

Missing Episode Dates and Durations in Android Auto
When using Android Auto, some users may have noticed that episode lists did not show the release date or the episode duration beneath each episode title (no air dates, missing episode length, the episode title appears larger with no details below it). This was a display issue on our side and did not affect your account, your subscription, or playback. A fix is included in the upcoming version 8.14 update — once it is available and you update the app, episode dates and durations will appear again. If you continue to experience this issue after updating, please contact support.

Audio Playback Issues on Android Automotive
Some users running Pocket Casts on Android Automotive (AAOS) may experience audio behaving unexpectedly during playback — including audio that continues over other apps after switching audio sources (podcast audio overlays, won’t release audio focus) or repeated pause and resume cycles (audio keeps stopping and starting on its own). A recent update in version 8.12 fixed a related problem where an episode could start playing twice at the same time (two audio streams, double audio), so updating to the latest version should help if you’re hearing duplicate playback. We’re continuing to improve audio playback on Android Automotive. If you still experience problems after updating, please contact support.

Android Automotive Sync
Currently, the native Android Automotive app does not sync progress automatically. You need to refresh by using the “Refresh Now” button in the app’s settings page. Our team is working to improve this feature by implementing background refresh.
