Remove Podcast not showing up on menu

Support
1

App version: 3.10.2 from Google Play

Android version: 16

Device model: Pixel 8a

Expected behaviour: Expect to see the choice “Remove Podcast” from the pull down menu when I click on a podcast on the subscription page.

Current behaviour: The menu includes other options including Delete/Archive, but does not include Remove Podcast.

First occurred: Today

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to subscription page
  2. Click on podcast I want to unsubscribe
  3. I don’t see “Remove Podcast” in the men

Environment: I’ve only been using AntennaPod for a month, this is the first time I’ve tried to unsubscribe from a podcast.

What would “Remove Podcast” accomplish that the existing “Delete / Archive” functions do not?

The instructions I’ve found indicated there was a “Remove Podcast” in the menu, I wanted to know why I don’t see that. The delete function sounds like it removes all the episodes but does not stop future downloads. The archive function hides it from getting future updates but keeps downloads and statistics, which I’m not interested in. I guess the Archive is closest to what I want to do.

When you remove/archive a podcast you choose either to delete podcast and all that it’s related to it. It will be like you never added it. But if you chose to archive then podcast will be hidden and it won’t do anything, same way as if you deleted it. The difference is that downloaded episodes, favorites, stats are kept.

Doesn’t it allow you to do what you want? When removing / archiving it should explain it. What is your language? Is there a translation problem?

I have been using this app about 6 months and also cannot find the Remove Podcast option - and it 100% used to be there. Surprised more people have not noticed….also hoping this will get fixed

It’s still there, but it’s now more concisely called Delete, under the “Delete / Archive” option. The other option there, Archive, was recently added by popular demand.

Where did you find those instructions? Do you have a link please?

thank you. Delete works. I am not sure that I ever followed internet instructions before as “Remove Podcast” was intuitive…when I was troubleshooting today I came across the thread below - which lead me to believe there was still a Remove option..

anyway, if Delete unfollows the podcast, I am good to go and appreciate your quick and helpful reply.

I found a few references to it being in the menu, here is one from the forum.

I agree, if delete unfollows the podcast that works for me.

Would it help if we replace the text ‘Delete / archive’ with ‘Remove’ or ‘Unsubscribe’?

I kinda like the latter; it’s clear and then you get the screen where you can choose how you want to unsubscribe (maintaining or deleting your data).

Yes, I think “unsubscribe”, then get the choice to maintain or delete data.

tnx
