Netflix has launched a new feature Downloads For You, that that automatically downloads recommended shows or movies to your mobile device based on your tastes.
Whether you’re a comedy fan stuck on a long car ride or a rom-com lover without internet, the streaming company now ensures that there is always something new waiting to entertain and delight you.
This follows Smart Downloads, introduced three years ago to enable users to find the next episode of their favorite show-even when they are on the go. Now, Download For You will make it easier for users to discover favorite series or films quickly and easily whether they’re connected or not.
The good part of the new feature is that you’re always in control of how much is downloaded to your device. It takes two simple steps to opt-in:
- Go to the Downloads tab on your mobile device and toggle on Downloads For You.
- Choose the amount of content you want to be downloaded to your device (1GB, 3GB, or 5GB) and click Turn On. The more space you allow, the more recommendations Netflix will download for you.
The feature is available on Android globally and it will be testing soon on iOS.
The company said, “We’re always looking for ways to improve the mobile experience, and we’re excited to make it even easier for members to discover and enjoy new series and films.”
