A. Check the app settings to ensure that the 'Track Played Episodes' feature is enabled. Go to Settings > Playback and look for an option related to tracking played episodes. If it’s already enabled, try toggling it off and then back on to reset the feature.
B. Clear the app's cache to refresh its data. Go to your device's Settings > Apps > Podcast Player App > Storage > Clear Cache. This can help resolve any temporary data issues that may be causing tracking problems.
