Since a huge number of masses have started consuming podcasts at regular basis, there is a great shift in the creation of podcasts. Many platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and others are giving lovers features that will enhance their listening experience.<\/p>\n<p>One such feature is automatic podcast downloads by YouTube Music. Through this feature, users can now enjoy the latest episode of their favorite podcast offline without manually downloading it. Once the feature is turned on, the app itself downloads the latest episode to the library. However, this update of auto-downloads is only available for the non-beta <strong>YouTube Music version 6.21<\/strong>. However, this is still rolling out, so even if you update your app, you might not see this new launch.<\/p>\n<p>Since Google Podcasts is subjected to shutdown by 2024, YouTube Music is officially Google&#8217;s new partner for podcasts. The platform itself is undergoing many updates as YouTube is trying its best to enhance users&#8217; experience. With the entry of<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/how-to-listen-to-podcasts-on-youtube-music\/\"> the Podcasts section<\/a> in the YT Music app earlier this year, the platform already had a spike in users. So with the launch of automatic podcast downloads, the podcasts section becomes more user-friendly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Enable_Auto-Download_Feature_On_YT_Music\"><\/span>How To Enable Auto-Download Feature On YT Music?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get the automatic podcast downloads enabled on your YouTube Music app, you must do that separately for each podcast. For example, if you want to turn on auto-downloads for a podcast, you have to go to that show to enable it. Also, you need to turn it on for each device individually.<\/p>\n<p>To turn on automatic podcast downloads:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Search for the podcast<\/strong> you want to enable this feature for<\/li>\n<li>And <strong>Add it to library<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Now if you see three vertical dots alongside the podcast&#8217;s name, you still have the old layout.<\/li>\n<li>But if not, then long press on it and you&#8217;ll see the <strong>Auto-downloads<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<li>Click on it to turn it on or off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20448\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads-.jpg\" alt=\"Automatic podcast downloads\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads-.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Automatic-podcast-downloads--1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: 9to5Google<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once turned on, YouTube Music will automatically download the latest episode offline for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is very clear that Google Podcasts didn&#8217;t meet users&#8217; expectations and hence failed to retain users for podcasts.
