It is very likely that you are already accustomed to taking advantage of the downloads on Netflix. This function is really useful for trips, being able to download movies and episodes of series and documentaries to watch when you don't have an Internet connection. The problem is that Netflix users can be short-sighted and end up halfway through the download. Well, this is no longer a problem for many of your users.
Netflix has announced the availability of a new feature that significantly improves the option to download content in the application.It consists of being able to start playing the content even if it has not been completely downloaded Of course this means not having all the content available. However, it will allow us to see what we already have. So something we can enjoy it.
The idea is to start watching the content even if the download is paused. We will see how far it has given time to download and, if we connect again to a good quality WiFi network, the download will resume as well as playback Of course, If we don't have problems using the Internet data connection, we can continue downloading or streaming without problems. Although we will lose the main meaning of this download tool: save data from our Internet rate.
Who can use Netflix's new download feature
Of course, for the moment Netflix has launched this improvement in the download function in a staggered and limited way.It is now available to Netflix users on mobile phones and tablets with the Android operating system Basically, we just have to download the content that interests us and start playing it whenever we want .
iPhone and iPad users, however, will have to wait a bit longer. Netflix assures that they are going to start testing this feature now with them, so it may still be several weeks delayed before it lands for everyone.
The interesting thing is that Netflix claims that this is the last improvement in the download function for now. And it leaves, like any good series, an open ending to wait for new tools that help and improve the Netflix mobile experience when we travel or have irregular Internet connections. From moment it does not give clues of what is to come So we will have to be attentive... Of course, for now taking advantage of the progress so as not to miss out on seeing part of the content even if we are traveling and have not had time to download the entire episode of our favorite series.
