About Automatic Downloads

Automatic Downloads make it easy for listeners to play and resume the podcasts they follow from any device — no matter their current device, location, or internet connectivity.

Episodic vs. serialized shows

When a listener follows a show, Apple Podcasts will begin automatically downloading between one and three episodes, depending on the podcast’s “show type.” Automatic Downloads have specific behaviors for the different types of shows to help listeners start from the best place.

Episodic shows

When a listener follows a show categorized by the creator as “episodic,” the latest episode is automatically downloaded for instant offline playback. Episodic shows often feature news briefs, interviews, and conversations among hosts.

Serialized shows

When a listener follows a show categorized by the creator as “serialized,” the first three episodes are automatically downloaded for instant offline playback. Serialized shows are often those where listeners want to start from the beginning, such as documentaries, investigative reports, or fictionalized narratives.

Multiple seasons

If a serialized show is also segmented into multiple seasons, the first three episodes from the latest season are automatically downloaded.

Complete series

If a serialized show is identified as a “complete series,” meaning all episodes have been published and no additional episodes are expected, the first three episodes from the first season are automatically downloaded.

Bonus episodes and trailers

Episodes categorized as “bonus” are treated the same as episodes categorized as “full,” meaning they are also automatically downloaded. When a listener follows an episodic show where a bonus episode is the latest published episode, that bonus episode is automatically downloaded.
