- Netflix provides Obtain Season to iPhone and iPad apps
- The replace comes after Android customers received it
- It follows a major worth improve
Throughout the darkish days, those the place my house broadband community went offline, we struggled to stream Netflix content material on our iPads and iPhones. If solely we would had this current replace: the flexibility to obtain total seasons.
Granted, that may not have labored so effectively with the virtually ineffective 5G connection on my iPhone, but when I would already had the flexibility to obtain total seasons of Squid Sport and Man on the Inside, we’d’ve already had all these exhibits resident on our iPhones and iPads. In that case, who wants a connection?
The power to obtain a complete sequence on one of many greatest streaming providers shouldn’t be solely new. Android customers have had it for some time. Netflix on my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely had this potential from the second I put in the streaming service.
Tips on how to get it
The brand new obtain functionality wasn’t there right now after I checked my iPhone 16 Professional Max. However I discovered a fast manner so as to add it. I deleted the app from my telephone and reinstalled it. Presto! Netflix Downloads administration heart moved to a brand new location underneath My Netflix, and exhibits the place downloads can be found now embody a Obtain Season possibility subsequent to the Share icon.
Within the case of multi-season exhibits, the label says “Obtain Season 1” or no matter season you are in. Within the case of a restricted sequence or one with only a single season underneath its belt like A Man on the Inside, it’s going to say one thing like “Obtain 8 Episodes.”
Over WiFi, it took a couple of minute to obtain 8 episodes of A Man on the Inside. To double-check the utility of this characteristic, I put my telephone in airplane mode and was happy to see that I might play any of the episodes.
I might additionally go into the Obtain Administration part and delete the episodes individually or the complete season with one click on.
Having the ability to watch Netflix streamers offline is a giant deal. I do know that in my home, after we had no connectivity and had been solely watching what we might stream stay in the intervening time – which wasn’t a lot and why we switched to DVDs (the old-school manner of getting prompt entry to total seasons of your favourite exhibits) – we might’ve thought-about this characteristic a binge lifesaver.
There isn’t any technical cause I can see that prevented Netflix from bringing this to the greatest iPhones and greatest iPads concurrently Android telephones and I hope they do not make a behavior of overlaying just one platform at a time.
Giving us this content material portability is the least Netflix can do after once more elevating costs on all ranges of service.
As I put together to go on somewhat trip, I plan to reap the benefits of this characteristic and obtain a couple of seasons of some choose exhibits to look at on the seaside or after I simply wish to chill in my lodge room.
Such good timing. Thanks, Netflix.
