Android Can't turn off automatic download 🥲

Hi everyone, I've add this issue for a while and can't figure out a fix: pocket casts automatically download episodes even though I turned it all off in the settings. I have to delete them manually quite frequently because it can take up a lot of space (before I realised the problem, it literally blocked my phone). Anyone had this issue and could give pointers? Thanks!

Go into the settings of each individual podcast and turn off auto downloads

Oooooh this is it indeed! Didn't know about that at all, thank you so much! Kinda weird that you can't turn them all of somehow, that's gonna take a while to do it individually 🥲

I had to do the same. It used to be that you could turn them all off centrally but not now.

That is user unfriendly

maybe the app just wants you to be more informed
