Additional FAQs

Can I download episodes automatically?

Netflix offers the “Smart Downloads” feature. If you downloaded and watched one episode, Netflix will automatically download the following one and delete the one you’ve watched. The last episode will remain in the “Downloads” section if you’ve finished the entire TV show.

Here’s how you can enable Smart Downloads:

1. Open the Netflix app.

2. Tap “Downloads.” If you’re using Netflix on a PC, press the three lines, and then press “My Downloads.”

3. The Smart Downloads feature will show up at the top of your screen. Switch the toggle button to turn it on.

This feature works only if you’re connected to Wi-Fi and have the latest version of the app.

This option is not to be confused with the “Downloads for you” feature in the same section. If you want Netflix to download content based on your watch history, you can enable this feature. Each time you connect to a Wi-Fi network, Netflix will save content to the downloads folder.

What Is the maximum number of titles I can download?

Netflix allows you to download up to 100 titles. Keep in mind this is also limited by the amount of available storage. If you’re using the mobile app and don’t have enough storage on your phone, you can switch the download location to “SD card” by accessing the settings.

It’s important to emphasize some titles will expire after a particular time. This depends on the licenses, and it’s not something you can control. If a title expires in less than seven days, you’ll see its remaining available time in the downloads section.

Some will expire 48 hours after you first play them. In this case, you’ll also see the remaining time in the downloads section.

If a downloaded title is leaving Netflix, keep in mind that it will disappear from your folder when it becomes unavailable on the service.

Enjoy Your Favorite TV Shows Even When You’re Offline

Downloading your favorite episodes from Netflix allows you to always have something to watch. Even though you can’t download a whole season with one click, you can save individual episodes or use the Smart Downloads feature that downloads them for you. Binge-watch your favorite content even when you’re offline.
