Netflix Launches Offline Feature, and It Doesn't Cost More

Netflix today announced a feature that fans of the streaming service have been clamoring for: offline viewing. Starting right now, you can download (some) movies and TV shows and watch them when you're on an airplane or any other place where internet access is limited. This doesn't cost extra.

The feature is available for all plans and works on iOS and Android phones and tabelts; it's not supported on PC, video game consoles, or any other Netflix app.

To make use of the feature right now, you need to update your Netflix app to the newest version. Once you've done that, you'll see an "Available to Download" page which lists off all the TV shows and movies that can be downloaded. There is already a big selection, and Netflix said more are on the way.

"While many members enjoy watching Netflix at home, we've often heard they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on airplanes and other places where Internet is expensive or limited," Netflix director of product innovation Eddy Wu said in a statement. "Just click the download button on the details page for a film or TV series and you can watch it later without an internet connection."
