“Recently updated” sort not updating

[Jwesley0123]

When sorting podcasts by “recently updated”, the podcast feed is not updating. I have to manually click the podcast for the “updated” date to update. This has been going on for over a year now. Others reported in another post and it was marked as resolved but it is not resolved and people have commented on that post saying it wasn’t resolved.

Hey @Jwesley0123,

Thanks for posting this thread in the forum!

To start, it would be helpful if you could send us the following:

• Troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far.
• Is this happening on a specific device (iPhone) or multiple ones?
• Exact Spotify-version this is happening on.
• Do the newly-released episodes appear in Your Library > New episodes and from Home > Podcasts > Following?

If you've not done these so far, let us know if any of the following steps make a difference:

• Clean reinstall (including clearing the cache).
• Another network connection (Wi-Fi, mobile data).
• Ask a friend or a relative to log in to their account on your device(s).

We'll be on the lookout.
