Netflix Introduces Feature: Automatically Saves Shows Offline on Your Smartphone Without User Interaction
Going Offline, just Got Easier with Netflix's Latest Trick
Netflix has just upped its game in offline viewing, unveiling a fresh feature that'll make your mobile experience smoother than ever. Get ready to welcome the convenient Downloads for You. Once activated, this magical tool will download shows and movies based on your preferences, all while sparing your storage concerns by providing you control over the allocated space.
So, how does it work? Once you opt in, the feature jumps into action by downloading your favorite titles when you're connected to wifi, ensuring you've got something ready to roll the next time you're on the go or hunting for some entertainment. Let's face it, we could all use a helper like this, especially when contemplating the return of plane travel.
The Downloads for You tool revolves around the predecessor, Smart Downloads, which already practiced auto-magically deleting and downloading watched episodes of a series for you. Currently, this marvel is only accessible on Android, but Netflix promises to test it on iOS soon.
To unlock this diamond in your Netflix chest, scoot on over to the Downloads settings menu and switch on Downloads for You. From this platform, you'll also be able to designate storage space of 1GB, 3GB, or 5GB for the automatically downloaded titles, keeping your manually downloaded shows and movies separate.
Come on, Netflix, spread the love to the iOS users too! We're chomping at the bit to see this game-changing feature on our devices.
