While these were some visual changes, some new features are hidden in the settings tab. Tabs within the Activity tab lets you check your downloads, history and subscriptions.

The new Google Podcasts application is only rolling out to users and is not available for everyone at the moment. But now, it seems like Google is finally doubling down and giving the application a redesign and some much-needed features like auto-download. Google’s podcast application has long been a skeletal application that didn’t offer as much functionality as we’ve seen in third-party applications like Pocket Casts, Castbox and Podcast Addict.
