When I have been playing a podcast and then access the player from the pull down menu I can hit play but the podcast does not restart. The play button indicates it’s playing but the progress bar is not moving and there is no sound. And yes my sound is turned up LOL.

Hello everyone!

I’m having the same problem: Podcasts can’t be resumed from the lock screen. They can be stopped or paused, but not started again. And the dropdown menu doesn’t work either on an unlocked device. The bug occurs on /e/OS and on Android 16!

Kind regards,  
Ringo
