How To: Automatically Download New Netflix Episodes on Your Phone

One of the most convenient features in the Netflix app is the ability to download movies and TV shows to your device, skirting any streaming issues, even with the most temperamental of internet connections. Going a step further, Netflix allows you to automatically download new episodes of your favorite TV shows once you've finished the ones already stored on the device.Unfortunately, iPhone users will not be able to take advantage of this offering.

Tap the "More" icon at the bottom of the display, then scroll down and tap "App Settings." Finally, ensure the toggle next to "Smart Downloads" is blue.
