How to Download and Watch Netflix Movies and Shows Offline

Watching on Netflix can give you hours of pure entertainment. But, what if you have to travel somewhere without any network connection? Streaming on Netflix requires an Internet connection. However, you can watch your favorite movies or shows if you download them offline.

Netflix allows users to download some of their content, so they can watch it offline. You can download ahead of time, so even if you are on the outskirts of the city or in the plane, you can still watch on Netflix. Check out the article below to know how.

What do you Need to Download Movies and TV Shows on Netflix

First, you need to have a Netflix account. If you don’t have one, go to their official website and sign up. Next, you will need to have a good Internet connection for you to have an uninterrupted download. Lastly, you need to have one of these devices:

• Windows 10 – version 1607 or later
• iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch – iOS 9.0 or later
• Android devices – Android 4.4.2 or later
