User level: Level 1 (6 points)Iphone 18 Pro Podcast app hanging in carplay with a wireless connection.
I connected my new phone to my car today but when I load the podcast app and try to view the library the app hangs and crashes. This happened multiple times in carplay so I navigated to the library directly on the phone but the issue remained.
When I'm not connected to carplay the podcast app works as expected.

To fix the Apple Podcasts app hanging in CarPlay on your iPhone 18 Pro, restart your iPhone, forget and re-pair your car in Settings > General > CarPlay, and ensure Siri and background data sync for podcasts are fully enabled.
