This should be submitted as a bug.

All settings and filters are not saved after navigating away from Your Episodes

My Question or Issue

Filter at "Your Episodes" are no longer being saved since last update. All filters are being removed after closing the section. 

[Sepho]

Hi Eni,

This "feature" was available up until the last update. Are you saying that it was removed in purpose and that we need to hope that it gets reintroduced?

[Sepho]

Another Android update was published today and still the filter for your "saved & downloaded" playlist is not showing your saved & downloaded podcasts at default.

Hey folks,

Thanks for reaching out!

We have this similar thread, where an issue with the "Remove played episodes" option not being saved was reported and fixed, but our tech team is still looking into the filters getting removed. We'll let you know as soon as we have more info, thanks for flagging!

Take care.

The new episode filters in my opinion need a full time option. Since the filter started all of my 1400 plus episodes show up. I then have to hit filter - downloaded. And now I have to do that 100 times a day at work because my episodes no longer say where I am currently in the episode and that it's finished when I'm already on the next episode so I have to hit home and do it ALL OVER AGAIN! There is no option to filter downloaded episodes until chosen other wise. I cannot keep doing that without getting caught on my phone and work so this really really has me upset half my day now and now I want to switch my music and podcast app to something easier like it was before this new filter.

Still no change, no response and no usable filtering available.

I am done. I will no longer use Spotify for podcasts.

This started happening to me, too, recently (within the last couple of weeks) I got a new phone and the issue happens on both my old and new phones. I followed all of the troubleshooting instructions and am still having the same issue. In addition, if I have started an episode but do not finish it, when I re-filter to only unplayed episodes, the partially completed episodes disappear. This did not happen before; episodes would only disappear once they were truly completed

Hey folks,

Thanks for posting in the thread!

Since some time has passed from the last comment here, could you let us know if you're still experiencing this issue? The tech team has informed us that it should now be fixed.

Cheers!

Recent release of Android app has broken the applied filters. 

I.e.  filter by "unplayed" or "downloaded" are resetting and not being applied on page AND app exit. 

This used to be a fixed toggle....

[Pepe37]

 Still facing same issue. Please bump it up

[Sepho]

Nothing changed so far. Filter function is still not working properly.

[Yordan]

Thanks for confirming folks! Our tech team will investigate further. Stay tuned for updates! 👍

Hi, The podcast filter still resets when leaving app or the "My episodes" section.

[Wacom007]

I uninstalled spotify and reinstalled and the issue started again shortly after downloading podcasts and music.  The filter not working correctly causes spotify to hang in low signal areas making it unusable unless I turn data on on my phone. 

[Shaz08]

After I finish listening to a podcast episode, it usually automatically removes itself from my playlist. Eversince this new update, I have to manually undownload the "played" episode and then again a second time to completly remove frome playlist

Now I listen to 20+ podcasts a day so I am manually removing 40+ times. 

Where has this automatically remove played episodes feature gone?

I have the exact same issue on my Pixel 6a.

[thrushd]

Same issue here. Filters do not stay enabled when navigating away from 'Your Episodes' and episodes are no longer automatically removing themselves when being marked as finished (either naturally or manually). 
Additionally, I can't even open the settings for episodes anymore, tapping the gear results in nothing.
Running on a zenfone 9 / android 14.

Hey again folks and welcome to the thread @thrushd, @31evpycl65bzgpjwizrb, @Shaz08, @Wacom007, @marcogilbert.

Our teams are still looking into this as we speak and in order to help with the investigation, it would be great if you could send us these details if you haven't already done so:

• Device and OS-version this is happening on.
• The exact Spotify-version you're using. 
• A video recording of the behavior - either attach it here via Insert Video or upload it to Google Drive and share the link with us. Make sure no sensitive info is visible (such as your username).

In the meantime, we're here if anything else comes up.
