iOS 27.2 splits Apple Podcasts Up Next queue into two sections

iOS 27.2 reworks the Up Next queue in Apple Podcasts, splitting it into New Episodes, which shows only the latest releases from followed shows, and Continue Playing, which gathers all started but unfinished episodes. The change addresses long-standing complaints about episodes getting lost in the queue.

• Up Next is split into New Episodes and Continue Playing
• New Episodes shows only the latest releases from followed shows
• Continue Playing collects all started but unfinished episodes
• The changes ship as part of iOS 27.2
