After latest update, my podcasts won't play continuously

After the latest update for my iPad, 16.3.1, my Apple Podcasts won’t play continuously. I like to listen to podcasts at night, so it’s driving me crazy. I went to Settings and the continuous play is toggled on, so I’m not sure why it’s not working. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I can't give you an answer, but it seems each time I have a "dysfunction" after an update... hlthe2b Mar 2023 #1

I obsess over it, search all over google for an answer, waste hours trying everything, and fail. A few days later, the issue self-corrects for whatever reason. Most recently a couple of apps simply would not open (start to open and then shut and of course, I did the usual measures including deleting and reinstalling--all for naught.). Thankfully they are working again because trying to fix the issue--can become the stuff of nightmares and I need my sleep...LOL

So, it may well be that the next iteration of IOS upgrade will address this or maybe it will self-correct. But, I share and empathize with the frustration.

It keeps my brain from churning thoughts all night long. I wake up, get lost in listening to whatever is playing and soon go back to sleep. Hopefully, it will get corrected by a bug fix.

Then installing it again. That should reset the settings. When I have an issue with an app, that is the first thing I try since it usually works most times
