Podcasts app continuous playback keeps ON

[Schtibbie]

iOS 15.5, been this way for awhile.. in Settings/Podcasts the continuous playback keeps turning back ON even though I keep turning it OFF because I hate that feature! How is it possible that Apple developers themselves haven’t noticed this when going about their day listening to podcasts???

I experience this bug occasionally and sadly it is still present in iOS 15.6 RC2

Well crap. How hasn’t this been noticed as a bug??

I don’t know… the Podcasts app has had many bugs and people have so low expectations of it to work?

Found a thread on Apple’s support forum from March 2022, still active:

Podcast Continuous Playback broken in 15.… - Apple Community

It’s very annoying and isn’t even fixed in 15.6. I have had to turn off continuous playback every single day.

Anyone know if this is fixed in iOS 16? This is the most annoying bug.

This still happens to me on iOS 16.3. It makes me wanna throw my phone in the wall..

Still happens. This bug has persisted for at least a year now, across multiple OS releases.

At this point, I have come to believe this is a dishonest employee at Apple deliberately re-enabling continuous playback mode to artificially inflate advertising revenue.

A dishonest employee or maybe this is a "feature" and not a bug... I have started to turn it off every day when I wake up before I start my commute to work. It has become a habit, not a habit I like, but I freaking hate it when a random podcast starts as soon as another one stops.
