Netflix has announced a new “Downloads for You” feature for its iOS and Android applications. The company says that this feature will automatically download recommended TV shows or movies to your device “based on your tastes,” and it’s thankfully completely opt-in.
Is Apple listening to the criticism surrounding its most recent MacBook Pro redesign? It seems like that could be the case. Following up Ming-Chi Kuo’s report from January that Apple is working on a redesigned M1-powered MacBook Pro, according to 9to5Mac, the often-reliable analyst now says that Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro will feature an HDMI port and an SD card slot.
- How to record Netflix on a Mac using Windows. While Mac users are out in the cold - Netflix has made it possible for Windows users to download Netflix content on their PCs.
- With a MacBook, if you do not see Netflix on your TV screen, go to System Preferences and choose Display. Select the Arrangement tab and then select the Mirror Displays checkbox. If you see Netflix images on your TV, but no sound is coming from the TV, you likely must adjust your laptop's sound settings to specify that you want to use external.
- The shows and movies Netflix will download will be based on the user’s personal tastes, watch history and recommendations. Activating the feature means the user won’t have to rely on an internet connection to consume Netflix content.
The feature is rolling out today on Android and will begin testing on iOS soon.
The company touts this feature as an expansion of its Smart Downloads feature, which it introduced three years ago as a way to automatically download the next episode of a TV show you’re watching. “Downloads for You” takes this to the next level.
The announcement post explains:
Today we’re launching Downloads For You, a new feature that automatically downloads recommended shows or movies to your mobile device based on your tastes. Whether you’re a comedy fan stuck on a long car ride or a rom com lover without internet, we do the work so there is always something new waiting to entertain and delight you.
The feature will begin testing on iOS soon, and this is how you’ll be able to opt-in once it rolls out:
- Go to the Downloads tab and toggle on Downloads For You.
- Choose the amount of content you want downloaded to your device (1GB, 3GB, or 5GB) and click Turn On. The more space you allow, the more recommendations Netflix will download for you.
