How to Download TV Shows and Movies on Netflix

If you are traveling in a plane or subway, it is hard to stream Netflix content with ease. It is also difficult to stream Netflix when the data is limited. In these cases, the best solution is to download the desired content and watch it even when you are offline. The process of downloading your favorite Netflix movies and shows is given below for you.



Is it possible to download Netflix content?

When it comes to offline viewing on Netflix, not all the TV shows and movies are available for download. You need to explore them by tapping the Downloads option given on the bottom section. There will be a dedicated Find More to Download or Find Something to Download option over there, for downloading. Once you tap the given Download button, you will be redirected to the Available for Download section of Netflix. From movies to shows, you will find everything to download in this section. However, it is not possible to search for any particular show or movie to download.

Keep scrolling through Available for Download section to find the ideal show or movie for offline viewing.


How to download movies on Netflix?

First and foremost, you will have to open the Netflix app on your particular device. Then, search for the movie that you want to see. After you choose the movie that is compatible for offline watching, touch the Download option available right next to the Share button. Your desired movie will be downloaded soon, and you can watch by tapping the Download option from the bottom. It is easy to manage all the downloaded movies as well.

For freeing up storage space on your device, you can directly delete the watched movie. Move back to the Downloads section and touch the pencil icon available on the top right part. Choose the watched movie and tap on the trash can icon to remove that particular movie from Downloads.
