Netflix has rolled out its Smart Downloads feature for iOS users, nearly seven months after launching the feature on its Android app.
Aimed at making binge watching easier for users, Smart Downloads automatically deletes the downloaded episodes of a television show after the user has finished watching it and downloads the next episode.
For instance, if the user has downloaded the first two episodes of a show, Netflix will automatically delete the first episode after the user has watched it and download the third episode whenever they connect to a Wi-Fi network.
The feature will work for both Netflix’s original television series and licensed television series. Users will also have the option to opt-out of this feature.
“The faster our members can get to the next episode of their favorite stories, the better. Now, fans on the Netflix iOS app can get in on the fun and convenience of Smart Downloads, spending less time managing their downloads and more time watching. The feature is one more way we’re making it easier for Netflix fans to take the stories they love wherever they go” the company said in a statement.
