Apple Podcasts not updating? Refresh your RSS feed
Published · Updated
Why is Apple Podcasts not showing my latest changes?
Check your public RSS feed first. If the change is missing there, correct the episode or feed in Listenbox. If the feed is correct, open your show in Apple Podcasts Connect and use its refresh control. Apple processes updates asynchronously, so refreshing does not mean the change will appear immediately. For a show that still does not update, check its publication status and follow Apple’s support guidance below.
Last Update
1. Check your RSS feed
Open your public RSS feed and confirm the new description, artwork, or published episode is there. In Listenbox, open your podcast, select its feed under Feeds, then choose Open RSS.
2. Find the Refresh control
Sign in to Apple Podcasts Connect, select your show, and find its last update time. Click Refresh or Refresh Feed beside it.
3. Give Apple time to update
The Refreshing Feed message means Apple is processing your request. Refreshes happen asynchronously. Apple says metadata updates can take up to 24 hours.
If your podcast description or episodes still have not updated, confirm your show's status is Published, then contact Apple support. For artwork changes, Apple's refresh guidance also requires a different image filename.
