By default, Pocket Casts will not use your mobile data to auto download episodes on your iOS device.
However, Pocket Casts will use a minimal amount of mobile data on iOS for the following tasks:
- Syncing
- Checking for new episodes
- Opening episode notes
- Manually refreshing podcast artwork
- Tap Profile
- Tap Downloads
- Tap the three-dot icon
- Tap Auto Download Settings
- Toggle off Only on Unmetered Wifi
Enabling Use Mobile Data to auto download episodes may incur significant mobile data fees and is not recommended.
You will also find auto download options in the settings of each Playlist.
While the “Only on unmetered WiFi” setting is toggled on, you can still manually download episodes while using data.
