Netflix has finally added a much-requested Season Download button for iOS that allows subscribers who use iPhones and iPads to download a complete season of episodes with one tap. Whether getting ready for a long flight or just looking to spend an evening binge-watching “Squid Games” or “Bridgerton” on a mobile device, the update provides a convenience. “On a show’s display page, look for the button right next to the Share option. Tap it, and the entire season will start downloading automatically — no more downloading episodes one at a time,” Netflix tells Apple fans.

The feature had been available to Android users since 2021. TechCrunch calls the process of downloading one episode at a time “tedious and time-consuming,” and says “the new feature is especially useful for travelers and anyone who often finds themselves in areas with limited or no Internet access.”

“All Netflix original series and most licensed content is available to download for offline viewing,” Variety points out, adding that “users can keep tabs on downloads or manage individual episodes by visiting the Downloads section under the My Netflix tab.”

“The latest feature for iOS comes after Netflix unveiled its Moments feature in October, which allows users to save their favorite scenes to their My Netflix tab and share them on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat or WhatsApp,” writes The Wrap.

“It also comes on the heels of the streamers’ latest price increase, which will hike the cost of its ad-supported plan to $7.99 per month, its premium ad-free tier to $24.99 per month and its standard plan to $15.49 per month.”

In addition to launching the new iOS feature, Netflix shared Android users’ top 5 most downloaded series to date:

1. “Squid Game” Season 1
2. “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”
3. “Squid Game” Season 2
4. “One Piece”
5. “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”

Announcing “fourth-quarter results that blew past Wall Street forecasts,” Netflix said it had 301.6 million global subscribers at the close of 2024, per Variety.
