Netflix launches automatic downloads feature on Android

Netflix is enhancing its downloads functionality with a new feature called ‘Downloads For You’, to help users discover more content.

Currently available to Android users across the world, the feature will automatically download shows or movies recommended to users based on their tastes and the amount of storage they set aside for this. The feature will also be tested soon on iOS devices, Netflix said in a statement.

Users can choose the amount of space they want to allocate to download content on the devices for each of the five profiles in their account. Netflix noted that this space will not be used for shows or movies that are manually downloaded, which will be available separately in the downloads tab.
