Ever since the start of the betas for Watch OS 6 and iOS 13, my Watch does not sync episodes of podcasts like it use to. I have tried to sync Listen now or Custom and both don't work that well. I have deleted the apps and reinstalled, I even got a new phone and put the betas on it and the issues remain. It just sort of seems to sync them if and when it wants to.

Anyone else having similar issues? I am current on all the Betas and of course have my watch and phone on a charger at night.

yeah, sync is broken in the beta. Although, if you have a cellular watch, it doesn’t really matter cuz it’ll automatically switch to stream.
 
I keep noticing more issues with the Podcast App on WatchOS 6 Beta. How have others experiences been?

Mine has been a bit better about syncing lately, but I now notice it will delete an episode off the watch if I listen to it even for a little bit. It deletes the file and takes it out of Listen Now, but if I manually go into the show, it shows there with the correct remaining time but it's no longer downloaded to the watch.

I do actually have an LTE model, but I turned off the service.
