Netflix’s new feature automatically downloads shows and movies you might like to your phone

[Jacob Siegal]

• Netflix announced a new feature on Monday called Downloads For You, which "automatically downloads recommended shows or movies to your mobile device based on your tastes."
• Much like Smart Downloads, you can pick how much room to allocate for the feature (1GB, 3GB, or 5GB), and Netflix will fill your hard drive up with content it thinks you might like.
• As of Monday, February 22nd, the feature is available on Android devices globally, but Netflix plans to test it on iOS soon for iPhone and iPad owners.

Netflix is facing more competition than ever with the recent launches of HBO Max, Disney+, and Apple TV+, but with so much content and new shows and movies arriving every week, the biggest streaming service in the world isn't at risk of losing its top spot any time soon. As a result, the company has had more time to focus on new features and quality-of-life updates, and the latest is actually an upgrade to an old feature you might have missed.

On Monday, Netflix announced a feature called Downloads For You, which "automatically downloads recommended shows or movies to your mobile device based on your tastes." If you choose to turn the mobile feature on, Netflix will download shows and movies that it thinks you might like based on your viewing habits so that you will never have to worry about hopping on a subway, a train, or a plane without anything new to watch again.
