Choose Your Playback Options
In a podcast’s info screen, you will see a settings button on the top, signified by three dots. Choose this, and you’ll find a variety of great options to customize how that particular podcast works.
Most importantly, you can choose between playing podcasts sequentially, playing most recent versions first, and only keeping recent episodes. This helps you tailor playback.
What if you want to change how playback works for all podcasts? You have a few options here, too.
- Head to the main Settings on your iPhone.
- Choose Podcasts in the list.
- You’ll see some options for how the app downloads new episodes. But pay attention to the Skip button section, where you can control how much time forward and back skips take up – and look at the external controls section, which is great to customize for workouts, etc.
