Netflix announced on Wednesday that it’s giving iOS users a new feature that allows them to download an entire season of their favorite TV show with one tap. The feature first became available to Android users.
The Season Download button is available in the Netflix app, located next to the Share button on a show’s display page. Users can select the option to quickly download all episodes from a selected season of a TV series. The entire season will be available in the Downloads section under the My Netflix tab.
The new feature is especially useful for travelers and anyone who often finds themselves in areas with limited or no internet access. Previously, users could only download one episode at a time, which made the process tedious and time-consuming. Now, viewers can easily prepare for their journeys by downloading longer shows, such as “Blacklist,” which has about 22 episodes per season.
Wednesday’s announcement comes on the heels of the company’s fourth-quarter earnings, which showed the addition of a record-setting 19 million subscribers.
