My Question or Issue

Hi. When I try to sort podcasts by "Recently update", the list on the sidebar doesn't change. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing the cache and downloads, but it still doesn't seem to work. My wifi connection is fine. This has been happening for a few months now.

I have also been having this exact same issue for several weeks now.

Hey there folks,

Thanks for all your replies and for the info shared.

@Amadeusnarbutt, we really appreciate all the time you took to send us accurate info. It seems there's a more recent version for the app available. Would you mind checking if you can update the app? If yes, can you check if you can replicate this behavior afterwards? Please send us the exact Spotify version you're running after the update. 

@ElJaySee, @Jwesley0123, thanks for adding your replies here. If you haven't yet, we'd suggest you perform a clean (more throughout) reinstall of the app. By doing that, the app can be up-to-date, and you can make sure the cache is not leading to this behavior. You can follow these steps to do it.

If this should persist after that, we'd like to gather some additional info. Please send us:

• The exact Spotify version you're running there.
• The make/model and OS of the affected device.
• Did you notice if this started to happen after a specific event such as an OS update?
• If you go to all the home pages of the podcasts you follow, does it updates as @Amadeusnarbutt pointed out above?

Keep us in the loop!

Hello, 

I updated the app (now 8.9.96.547) and am still experiencing the same issue. The photos attached show what is happening: the Recently Updated list shows that the most recent episodes were released 3 days ago, with several shows not having updated since Nov 28th, however when I click on 'New Episodes' there are several episodes that were released today. 

Please let me know how to proceed. 

Best,  
Amadeus

Hi! I've been experiencing this issue also, and noticing the same app behavior as described by everyone above. The clean reinstall *has* worked to resolve this in the past, and it is definitely not working now.

1. I am running version 8.9.96.547
2. iPhone 14 Pro Max version 18.1.1
3. Did not notice if it happened after a specific event.
4. Yes, if I go to the pages of

Watching. I literally came here for this EXACT CONCERN. Thank you!!

These steps did not help with mine. 

I am running:

Spotify 8.9.96

iPhone 14 Pro Max iOs 18.2

It started a few weeks ago

New episodes appear in the "new episodes" tab and if you go to each individual podcast the new episode is there but the main podcast episodes list will not update by "recently updated". 

While i've got you: please implement a "play next" function in addition to "add to queue". Sometimes as I'm adding stuff to my queue for a run or walk I want something I come across bumped to the top of the list. Thanks!!!!!

Hey folks, 

Thanks for all the info you've sent so far. 

We've gone ahead and passed this info on to the right team. We'll let you know as soon as we have any updates. 

In the meantime, make sure to keep the app up to date. 

Cheers!

My Question or Issue

For a few weeks at least now, the "Recently Updated" filter for podcasts hasn't been working.

Shows only do an update on my podcast list once I've gone in the program archive. If there is a new one and I go back to the list, then it may update and roll up at the top of the list...

This is pretty frustrating as it forces users to go through podcasts one by one to figure out if there is a new episode.For a few weeks at least now, the "Recently Updated" filter for podcasts hasn't been working.
