Hi all. I'm having a couple of issues with the personalized recommendations in the native Podcasts app on my iPhone SE 2020.
First issue. How to clear personalized recommendations? On the Listen Now tab, there is a heading labeled You Might Like, Based on Your Listening. Unfortunately, the list of recommendations is pretty low quality. Whether I listened to an entire podcast because I loved it, or only a couple of minutes because it was boring, doesn't seem to matter. Something similar ends up on the personalized recommendation list.
I've tried to tap-and-hold on an uninteresting recommendation, hoping to get an option to remove it from the list. No luck. I've also gone into Settings, My Name, Media and Purchases, View Account, and unselected Personalized Recommendations, but the list of personalized recommendations still appears in the Podcasts app.
So, how do I maintain the list of personalized recommendations so that it only contains recommendations I'm actually interested in? Any help would be appreciated.
Issue two: When you see a podcast in the list of recommendations, how do you listen to it? I tried double-tapping the podcast. This takes me to the Library tab, but the podcast I double-tapped is not present. I would expect to double-tap a personalized recommendation and have that podcast immediately start to play. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
