- Netflix adds the download season to iPhone and iPad -Apps
- The update comes after Android users got it
- It follows a significant price increase
During the dark days, they fought where my home broadband network went offline, we to stream Netflix content on our iPads and iPhones. If we had only had this recent update: the opportunity to download whole seasons.
Granted, it may not have worked so well with the almost inferior 5G connection on my iPhone, but if I had already had the ability to download whole seasons of Octopus games and Man on the insideWe may have already had all these shows residing on our iPhones and iPads. In this case, who needs a connection?
The ability to download a whole series on one of the best streaming services is not brand new. Android users have had it for a while. Netflix on my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra had this ability from the moment I installed the streaming service.
How to get it
The new download capacity was not there today when I checked my iPhone 16 Pro Max. But I found a quick way to add it. I deleted the app from my phone and reinstalled it. Presto! Netflix Downloads Management Center moved to a new location under my Netflix, showing where downloads are available now, includes a download season setting next to the stock icon.
In case of multi -season exhibitions, the label says “Download Season 1” or what season you are in. In the case of a limited series or one with just a single season under its belt as A man on the insideIt says something in the direction of “Download 8 episodes.”
Over wifi it took about a minute to download 8 episodes of A man on the inside. To double -check the utility of this feature, I put my phone in flight mode and was glad to see that I could play any of the episodes.
I could also go into the download management section and delete the episodes individually or all season with a single click.
Being able to watch Netflix streamers offline is a big thing. I know that in my house, as we had no connection and only saw what we could stream live at the moment-was not much and why we switched to DVDs (the old school way of having immediate access to the whole Seasons of your favorite shows) – We would have regarded this feature as a striking lifeguard.
There is no technical reason why I can see that it prevented Netflix from bringing this to the best iPhones and best iPads at the same time as Android phones and I hope they do not make a habit of covering only one platform at a time.
Giving us this content portability is the least Netflix can do after raising prices at all levels of service.
As I prepare to go on a little vacation, I plan to take advantage of this feature and download a few seasons of some selected shows to look at the beach or when I just want to relax in my hotel room.
Such perfect timing. Thanks, Netflix.
