Nearly every iOS device automatically comes with the Podcasts app — where you can listen, download, and subscribe to thousands of podcasts.

When you download a podcast to your iPhone, you can listen to it offline, like on an airplane or while out on a hike with little to no cellular service. You can also delete a downloaded podcast from your iPhone, and it’s as simple as swiping.

2. Find an episode of a podcast you wish to download by using the menu options at the bottom of the page. 

3. Once you’ve found a podcast to download, tap the "+" icon to the right of the episode’s title and description. This will add the podcast episode to your library. 

4. After you’ve added the podcast episode, download it by tapping the icon that looks like a cloud with an arrow pointing down. This means the episode will be available offline.
