Unable to Download Podcast message

For the past week or so, maybe since iOS 26.0.1, I am unable to download podcasts. It appears the download starts but then it receive an error message of “Unable to Download Podcast” with an option to tap Done or Retry.


I am doing this on WiFi. I am able to just click on the podcast itself and let it stream. However when I am at work I don’t have WiFi and am eating into my cellular data.


I’ve restarted my 17PM.

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
