Pocket Casts Sync automatically and securely stores specific information for you as long as you are logged in to your Pocket Casts account. You do not need to enable any extra settings to use the syncing feature.
Syncing will securely store your list of followed podcasts in the cloud. As you play episodes, Pocket Casts will automatically sync your playback position to the cloud and any other device that you’re logged into Pocket Casts on. If you change something about an episode (archive it, star it, mark it as played, etc) we’ll sync that too. We’ll also keep track of your Up Next list, stats and Listening History.
If you get a new phone, simply sign back in and all of the above will be restored to your new device.
Here’s the app information you can expect to sync when you are logged in to your Pocket Casts account:
- Podcast follows
- Up Next
- Listening history (display limit is 1000 on mobile apps, and 100 on web/desktop player)
