Even if all is not rosy for the Podcasts app, Apple continues to make small changes to make it a little more practical. The latest ones concern new sorting options. The third beta iOS 15.4 allows you to display the lists of episodes according to several criteria: All episodes, Read/Unread or Downloaded. Options found elsewhere in the list See everything episodes, at the top of the screen.
It is also possible to sort the podcasts by season, even if for the moment all the programs are not housed in the same boat (perhaps it is related to the metadata?). Anyway it will be very practical to find your way around more easily.
Apart from Podcasts, this third beta also invites the user to verify the information ofEmergency callby displaying a notification from the settings home page.
It’s unclear why iOS 15.4 is asking for this verification, but an informed user is forearmed. Beta 2 also asked for permission to participate in the audio listener to improve Siri, but that was the consequence of a big bug.
