This could undoubtedly come in handy.
Netflix on Tuesday introduced a new “Season Download” feature for its iPhone and iPad apps, allowing for users to download an entire season of a series with a single tap for offline viewing.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, the feature was previously only available to Android users. iOS and iPadOS users, for their part, were required to download each episode individually. The seasons can now be downloaded directly from a show’s display page, where the option is available next to the Share button. Subscribers can continue to manage their downloaded content through the My Netflix tab.
Netflix first introduced the offline viewing feature in 2016 and has since expanded it with elements such as Smart Downloads, which automatically replaces watched episodes with the next available installment in a series.
The timing of the update coincides with Netflix’s latest round of price increases. The company recently increased the cost of its premium ad-free plan to $24.99 per month, while the standard ad-free plan now costs $17.99. The ad-supported tier was raised to $7.99 per month. Subscribers on ad-free plans can store up to 100 active downloads per device, while those on ad-supported plans face stricter limits, allowing only 15 total downloads per month.
The Netflix app requires iOS 17 or later or iPadOS 17 or later to install and run.
