Add 30-Second Skip Forward/Backward for Podcasts (Lock Screen, Widget, & Earbud Controls)

Related products:AndroidPodcasts

I’m switching from Spotify that has this and it’s so handy.
Right now, to rewind or fast-forward by 30-sec increments you have to open the app. It would great to be able to do it when my phone’s locked (Pixel 8 user here), or through the Android widget on my home screen, or using the controls on my Jabra Elite 8 earbuds.

    Same here. 

    I listen to a lot of podcasts when I’m on my bike and its very annoying not being able to advance 30s by tapping my earbuds

    Same. I just started using the app for podcasts and theres no way to do the 30-second skip on Android auto either

    This is such an oversight that this is not the default behavior.

    i ended up using a different app for podcasts. There are so many free podcast apps. I get why Deezer doesn’t invest in making the podcast UX better. But honestly they should just stop serving podcasts altogether
