Rule that out by force-quitting and re-opening the app. Start by opening your iPhone's App Switcher. If your iPhone supports Face ID, simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause for a moment to bring it up. If not, double-press the Home button instead. Then, select the Podcasts app card and swipe it upward to force quit it. Wait for a moment and re-open the app. If you can't download any podcasts while not connected to Wi-Fi, then you must confirm that the Podcasts app has the permissions required to use cellular data.
Additionally, you must make sure that the switch next to Block Downloads Over Cellular is disabled. The Podcasts app may also run into download issues if there are problems on the server-side. You can check if that's the case by heading over to Apple's System Status page. If you see any issues listed next to multiple services such as Apple ID, Apple Music, or App Store there's no specific listing for the Podcasts app , wait for some time until Apple gets things back online.
Restarting an iPhone is a common troubleshooting method that can help resolve temporary glitches with your iPhone in general. Then, swipe to the right to turn the device off. Press and hold down the Side button again to restart it. If your iPhone uses Touch ID, just hold down the Side button only and swipe to the right to power down the device. If you experience issues with automatic episode downloads, in particular, you must confirm that the Podcasts app's download preferences are set up properly.
Start by opening the Settings app. Then, tap Podcasts and scroll down to the section labeled Episode Downloads. All the apps in the switcher are currently running - which is proved by the fact that Apple said so, and also because you can actually close them in the switcher so they had to be running if you can close them.
Anyway, to answer the OP's question. It sounds like if you didn't have the cellular data option turned on, your app thought it couldn't connect, and that's why it didn't download automatically in other words, it can't download if it's not connected.
To make sure it can always connect, turn on the cellular data option although make sure you have enough data available on your plan to use. That should allow it stay connected, which should allow it to auto-download properly. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
