As you’ve probably already heard, YouTube Music is the app that will succeed Google Podcasts in the coming months, with the latter to be completely discontinued in 2024. Users are now reporting they’re seeing an auto-download option for podcasts in version 6.21 of YouTube Music (both for Android and iOS).
Users from selected countries have been granted access to podcast shows and episodes on YouTube Music since the beginning of 2023, and the US is one of them. So, how to enable auto-downloads?After you open the YouTube Music app, tap the Podcasts filter that’s found at the home screen top. Visit a show page and tap the new settings gear icon to “Save/d to library.” This slides up the “Turn on auto-downloads” button.
As of the moment, one key feature from Google Podcasts is still missing on the new host app – YouTube Music is not offering auto-removal settings. In Google Podcasts, there’s the “Remove completed episodes” option that lets users set an increment: after 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days. Auto-downloads work on a per-show scheme so you have to enable them one by one, while Google Podcasts offers a dedicated Auto Downloading page to quickly toggle on/off downloads. Of course, there’s more than enough time for Google to pack those features in YouTube Music via a feature update if they choose to. The keyword here is “if”…A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it is positive, neutral or negative.
