How to Download Netflix Shows and Movies

This article explains how to download shows and movies on the Netflix app. Additional information covers how to delete downloads, manage download settings, use Smart Downloads, and enable and disable Downloads for You.


The Netflix download feature is available only on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 8 and the official mobile apps for Android and iOS.

How to Find Netflix Shows to Download

If you just installed or updated the Netflix app for Windows, Android, or iOS, you should see an initial message telling you to look for the down-arrow symbol to download titles so you can watch them anywhere without having to find a Wi-Fi connection or using any data.

In the main menu at the bottom of the screen, tap Downloads, then tap Find Something to Download to see all the TV shows and movies that work with this feature so you can watch while on the go.

For mobile, on the main menu at the bottom of the screen, tap Downloads (or in Windows, select the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner).

Tap Find Something to Download to see all the TV shows and movies that work with this feature so you can watch while on the go. (For Windows, select My Downloads > Find Something to Download.)


How to Start a Download on Netflix

When you tap to view the details of a particular TV show or movie, you can spot the download button either to the right of a TV episode or underneath the Play button for a movie. After you settle on a title to download, tap the down-arrow and watch the icon turn blue as it shows you the download progress.

You can begin watching a movie or show that's only partially downloaded. This is handy if you're in an area with poor Wi-Fi and lose your internet connection. Once you regain a strong connection, you can choose to resume downloading and watching the video.

To start a download, do the following:
  1. Find a movie or TV show you want to download.
  2. Select Download.
  3. Select Downloads to find and play your recent download (For Windows, select My Downloads.).


How Long Do Netflix Downloads Last?


Shows and movies you download on Netflix stay on your device for seven days. Many downloadable titles are renewed on Netflix and are still available to download even after they expire from your downloads section. So if you see titles expiring in your downloads section before you've watched them, tap the exclamation point beside the expired title to re-download it.

Netflix Smart Downloads and Downloads for You


If you have Netflix Smart Downloads enabled, Netflix automatically deletes episodes of shows you've watched, and then it downloads the next episode. With the Downloads For You feature enabled, the app automatically downloads shows and movies you might like based on your viewing history and profile preferences.


To manage these features, go to your Netflix downloads and tap Smart Downloads, then use the toggle switches to turn them on or off.
