(And in case you'd like your on the go marathons with a hefty dose of irony, yes, Black Mirror is available to download, too.) Eye contact with other humans is overrated, anyway. It was probably only a matter of time before Netflix did the same, especially given its increasingly wide international subscriber base.Īnd if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you now have a new tool at your disposal to enable Netflix marathons wherever you go, whether in line at the store, on the subway, in the air, or anywhere in between. Netflix says that downloading uses about as much data as streaming, so you might want to use a wireless connection rather than a cellular one while downloading.Īs the Hollywood Reporter noted, this kind of offline download option is one that Amazon made available for Prime subscribers in September 2015. The Netflix app also features a separate “Available for Download” menu to display all the available content in one place, as well as a “My Downloads” section to keep track of the shows and movies you’ve already saved. Just search the title you want and look for the download icon (the arrow pointing downward to a horizontal line). To see if the series or movie you want is available for download, you’ll need to have the most up-to-date version of the Netflix app on a phone and/or tablet using iOS 8.0 software or later, or Android 4.4.2 or later. The company did not specify how much of its content catalog will ultimately be available for download at any given time, merely promising that there’s “more on the way.” Behold, a shiny new option for further marathon enabling! Netflix The download option is already available for many movies and series, including Netflix originals Stranger Things, The Crown, Orange Is the New Black, and Narcos. “Just click the download button on the details page for a film or TV series and you can watch it later without an internet connection.”
“While many members enjoy watching Netflix at home, we’ve often heard they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on airplanes and other places where Internet is expensive or limited,” the company said in a statement. (The download option is not currently available for laptop computers.) On November 30, Netflix announced on its media blog that it has launched a “download” option that will allow users to save content to their phones or tablets so they can watch it even without an internet connection - and no, it won’t cost extra. Just in case you weren’t already wary of losing too many weekends to Netflix marathons, the streaming service is taking another huge step toward dominating its audience’s viewing habits: It’s making its programming available offline.
