Even in locations with spotty internet access or no signal cell, you can complete watching a few episodes of your favorite Netflix shows. There’s an offline-viewing feature called Smart Downloads that makes it all possible. It automatically downloads the next episode in the queue and deletes the previous one you’ve finished watching. You just need to make sure that you are running the latest version of the Netflix app.

How to enable Smart Downloads feature to enjoy Netflix on the go

Netflix Smart Downloads is a handy option for folks who love downloading and enjoying Netflix on the go. It also gives subscribers an option to have more control over their entertainment experience by streamlining the process of offline viewing.
