When it comes to OTT services, Netflix is the first name that springs to mind. For those who are unfamiliar, Netflix is an American video streaming service that began in 1997 as a conventional DVD rental business. Today, Netflix holds the lion’s share of the streaming business, closely followed by Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar.
Following a successful career as a DVD rental service, Netflix launched video streaming and on-demand video services in 2007. In 2010, the company expanded to Canada for the first time, followed by a rapid expansion to Latin America. They originally joined the content production sector in 2013 with the release of their first original series, ‘House of Cards,’ which was warmly received and is still being streamed by consumers today. It expanded to an additional 130 nations in January 2016, and it now operates in 190 countries.
Netflix is currently available as a built-in or downloaded app on the majority of smart devices, including Smart TVs, smartphones, laptop computers, and others. The app is free to download, but in order to access the content, you must subscribe to one of the offered plans.
The Netflix library is one of the largest on the market, and it might be difficult to consume this content at times, especially when bandwidth is limited. Netflix has provided a download tool that allows you to save your favorite content for offline watching to assist you with this issue. In this guide, we’ll show you how to download your favorite Netflix movies or TV program episodes to watch later or offline.
Please Note – This feature is only available on the mobile versions of Netflix.
Let’s get started –
Step 1. Open the Netflix app on your smartphone or tablet.
Step 2. In the search bar, type in the show or movie that you want to download for viewing later or offline.
Step 3. When you find the content you are looking for, tap on the thumbnail to open the content page.
Step 4. If you are browsing a movie, you will see one big Download button. Just tap on it and your download will begin.
Step 5. If you are browsing a TV show, you will see a download button next to each episode. This way you can pick and choose the episodes you want to download and save offline.
The download will depend on your internet connectivity and speed. Once the content is downloaded, you can go offline and still enjoy the content. This is especially useful when you are going on long flight journeys and you have no internet connectivity.
