What could be worse than navigating holiday travel with a kid? How about doing so while handing over your precious device, hoping it will keep the little whirlwind entertained long enough to survive the flight—only to realize none of their favorite shows are available offline? Oh, the agony!
But fear not, weary parents! Netflix has come to the rescue just in time for holiday journeys with the rollout of offline streaming. Yes, you can now download movies and shows directly to your device, so you can enjoy them even without an internet connection.
“While many subscribers love binge-watching Netflix at home, we often hear they want to take their Stranger Things obsession with them on planes and other locations where Wi-Fi can be limited or costly,” Netflix announced today. “Simply hit the download button on the details page of any film or series, and you’re set for later viewing sans internet!”
Download away and enjoy the peace and quiet—thank you very much! This new functionality is available for all Netflix plans and works on both Android and iOS devices. Just update your app to the latest version, and you’re good to go.
Hallelujah! It’s practically a holiday miracle!
