A few months after allowing its users to download videos for offline viewing, Netflix takes things one step further. The latest update to the Netflix app for Android allows users to save videos directly to the microSD card.
Netflix has added the ability to download videos for offline viewing a few months ago, so those who miss a certain live stream can enjoy it at a later time. Now, the Android app has just received an update that takes everything one step further and allows downloads directly to a microSD card.
To enable downloads to microSD, the user needs to open the device settings section in the Netflix app. Once inside there, the Download Location has to be switched to the memory card. When running the Netflix app on handsets or tablets that only have internal storage, the Download Location can still be tapped, but there is no option to choose, obviously.
An additional option that can be very useful to those with expensive 3G/4G data traffic allows users to enable WiFi-only downloads. The new Netflix app is available for download via Google Play right now.
Codrut Nistor - Senior Tech Writer - 5846 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013
In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
