Netflix users on iOS no longer have to download episodes of their favorite shows one at a time. The streamer recently added the ability to download a complete season of a TV show with a single click for iPhones and iPads. On January 29, Netflix introduced the Season Download button for iOS, a highly desired feature that allows subscribers to download a whole season of their favorite series with a single click.
The feature was first introduced on Android in 2021, and it is only now being rolled out to Apple’s iPhone and iPad. A spokeswoman for Netflix said, “We’ve heard that downloading episodes individually has been a challenge for iOS members—something we’re now addressing with this rollout.” All Netflix original series and most licensed content can be downloaded for offline viewing.
This eliminates the need to wonder whether downloading a specific number of episodes is enough for a journey. It’s remarkable that Android devices have yet to benefit from this tiny improvement in quality.
The Top Five Most-Downloaded Netflix Original Shows of All Time
Netflix has disclosed the five most downloaded Netflix original seasons on its platform.
- “Squid Game” Series 1
- “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”
- “Squid Game” Series 2
- “ONE PIECE”
- “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”
Netflix’s 2025 Subscription Rates Include:
The Season Download button has been added to iOS Wednesday comes after Netflix announced another Netflix subscription cost increase for the new year. The price increases will affect most plans in the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Argentina. The company informed shareholders in a letter last week that the decision allows it to reinvest in future enhancements.
- The ad-supported tier costs $7.99 per month, up from $6.99.
- The regular ad-free tier is $17.99 per month, up from $15.49.
- The premium tier costs $24.99 a month, up from $22.99.
How to Download on Netflix?
Netflix first allowed users to download content for offline viewing in 2016, and has since introduced features to make it easier to download series and movies, as well as erase downloads to free up space. In 2021, for example, it launched the option for customers to have the Netflix app automatically download series and movies it anticipated they would enjoy based on their viewing history. The one-click season download function was already available to Android users, but if you’re new to it, here’s how to utilize it on iPhone and iPad:
- Open the show’s display page.
- Next to the “share” option, select the “download season” button.
- The “Downloads” portion of the “My Netflix” tab lets you manage all of the season’s episodes.
It is vital to remember that users should be cautious about their storage capacity when doing this. Other shows may include more than 10-15 episodes; keep this in mind while downloading many seasons of a show!
