Gear icon in Your Episodes is unresponsive

[Maria]

We’re seeing reports that the gear icon in Your Episodes section becomes unresponsive when clicked on.

This seems to affect the Android mobile app only.

I noticed today that the your episodes section is not removing listened to podcasts which is how I had it set. Then I noticed that the settings icon to control this is non responsive.

Hey @robindesboisuk, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

Could you please share a screen recording of the settings while you try to toggle it? This will help me take a closer look at what's wrong. 

Also, head over to your settings and clear the cache. Restart the app and see if that makes any difference. You can check out the guide for that here. 🙂

I have the exact same issue, unfortunately my phone doesn't have screen recordings by default. The gear at the top of "Your episodes" responds to my tapping on it, i.E. it turns to a darker shade of grey, but other than that nothing happens and the settings won't open.

It worked fine until yesterday, now I can't open the settings in my episodes anymore and my finished podcasts aren't deleted automatically anymore.

Things I have already tried:

-Clearing the cache

-restarting my phone

-completely reinstalling Spotify

-deleting all my downloads and then re-downloading them

-tried different Wifi-networks and using my mobile data

nothing has helped so far

I'm using Spotify version 9.0.50.416 and there are no new updates available.

My phone is a Samsung A23 running Android Version 14

thanks for helping. I've tried resetting the cache and quit the app. Still the same. Attached recording 

Thanks

Podcasts haven't stopped auto deleting after listening, so I went to check the settings clicking the cog icon does nothing other than change colour to acknowledge it's been selected

Hello,, same problem here since yesterday

[amfsilva]

Hi, clearing the cache and restert solve the removal of the listened episodes, but it didnt solve the setting button to work.

Thanks

I'm trying to edit my settings for automatic removal from the "Your Episodes" playlist for Podcasts, but when I click on the settings gear, it does nothing.

I'm having the same issue. I've cleared the cache, deleted all downloads and even uninstalled and re-installed.
