I want to download podcast episodes, but it says that download is deactivated for this podcast with every podcast. I just have a new phone and on my last phone I was always able to download podcasts.

We are very sorry, but Deezer is unable to provide offline access for certain podcasts. However, you can still stream all podcast anytime when connected to the internet. Different podcast are subject to different restrictions notably based on regional limitations that we need to abide by. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused

I am facing the same issue, not able to download any podcasts since Friday 15-Nov-2024. Don't always have internet access while traveling, so it was great to be able to download a podcast episode. Hope this gets fixed.

Really frustrating as I only listen to podcasts when I'm driving so no WiFi and have to listen offline. I may be forced to go to another platform where I can use it in this way!

Downloaden wil niet meer. Maar afspelen ook niet. Deezer blijft laden. Kansloos

Whatever the opposite of customer-centric is, Deezer are being that. Podcast downloads for offline listening are one of my main requirements so I have today cancelled my Premium Family account. Now looking for an alternative.

Hi,

For a week, I've been unable to download any of de podcasts episodes on my deezer app but I have no problems downloading music. It has only been a week and before I could download without any problems. Every time I try to download, I have a message showing saying "downloads have been deactivated for this podcast" for every podcast. On the community q&a I've seen several responses from Deezer saying that it was a country problem to access certain podcasts, but I have this issue for only a week, and it's the same problem for every podcast on the platform.

Could you help me fix that problem? Thanks

​@Jaime.Deezer the issue does not come from the podcasts but from the platform !

Like a lot of other users, I was used to DL the podcast for off-line listening. And since 10 days, it’s impossible !

I've now decided to take my listening elsewhere and cancel my deezer subscription to go with another platform that has better benefits. I've been thinking this for a while as Deezer offers less selection of music & podcasts than I'd like but have stuck with it over the years. Now one of the main features that I use has disappeared is just the icing on the cake! Hello Spotify!

I’m paying premium family and cannot download podcasts anymore. In South Africa mobile data is expensive hence we download and listen offline 

please can this be changed back
