You can now download Netflix contents for offline viewing

One of the most-requested feature is now available for Netflix users worldwide that in addition to streaming online, will let them download movies and TV shows for offline viewing. YouTube already offers a similar feature.

To download your favorite content, you just have to click the download button on the details page of a TV show or movie to watch it later without internet connection. Once the download is completed, you can access the contents from My Download section of the app.

However, not all the contents are available for download but Netflix says, top streamed TV shows and movies like Stranger Things, The Crown and Orange is the New Black among others can be downloaded, with more on its way. 

Users also have the option to select video quality for the download as well, which can be accessed from "App settings". The video quality available are "Standard Quality", which takes less download time and storage space, and "Higher Quality" which consumes more time to download and more storage space.

This feature is included on all plans and Netflix will not charge extra for downloading the contents. It is currently available for Android and iOS apps on phones and tablet. This offline feature is a boon for countries like India or any other country where internet connectivity is slow or limited.
