The offline viewing feature on Netflix is a boon for iOS and Android users as they can watch their favorite movies and TV shows offline – without using Wi-Fi or cellular data. Netflix has introduced ‘Available for download’ for some movies and TV shows, and this means users can download such contents locally on their phones or tablets running iOS or Android. Check this guide to download Netflix movies and TV shows on iPhone and Android for offline viewing.
Watching Netflix movies and TV shows without internet connection is a great fun for iPhone and Android users; however, they have to download their contents on iOS 8 or later and Android KitKat or later versions. It goes without saying that while downloading movies, your device must be connected to a strong Wi-Fi network (cellular data will be consumed quickly). Once you download movies/TV shows, you can watch them from ‘My Downloads’ on your Netflix app.
How to Watch Netflix Movies and TV Show Offline on Android and iPhone
