Hi! Thanks for reaching out about the ScripturePlus app. I want to make sure I fully understand: When you tap on the podcasts section within the app, it’s automatically redirecting you to YouTube instead of playing the podcasts inside the app itself, right?

I’m here to help fix that. Let’s try a few things:

1. Check for App Updates: Sometimes, apps update their functionality. Please go to the App Store on your iPhone, search for ScripturePlus, and see if there’s an update available. Installing any update might resolve this issue.

2. Restart the App and Your iPhone: Completely close the ScripturePlus app by swiping it away from your app switcher, then reopen it. If the problem persists, try restarting your iPhone (hold the side button and volume up/down, then slide to power off) and then relaunch the app.

3. Check for In-App Settings: Within ScripturePlus, look for any podcast-related settings. Sometimes apps allow you to choose where podcasts open—inside the app or redirect to external sites like YouTube. If you find such a setting, try toggling it.

4. Network and Permissions: Make sure your iPhone has a stable internet connection. Also, go to Settings > ScripturePlus and verify if there are any permissions related to media or external links that might affect navigation.

5. Understand the Source: From what I see, ScripturePlus podcasts are sometimes hosted or linked via YouTube. So the app might be designed to open podcast videos or recordings on YouTube rather than streaming inside the app itself. That design choice could be why you see the redirect.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, this might be related to how the app handles podcasts currently, and I can help you report it formally for the development team to review. Would you like me to proceed with that?

Are you comfortable trying these steps, or do you want me to guide you through any of them?
