Netflix is adding a new mobile feature that will automatically download program and movie recommendations based on the viewer’s history. Downloads For You is released globally today for Android users, the company announced.
You will need to choose to use the feature. After activating the downloads tab, you will need to define how much space – 1 GB, 3 GB or 5 GB – you want to use. More space equals more downloaded Netflix recommendations. TechCrunch reports that while the full Netflix catalog is available with the feature, some downloads will be limited due to licensing restrictions.

The platform continues to improve its options for watching offline; Netflix launched Smart Downloads on Android in 2018, which automatically deletes downloaded episodes after being watched. Although Downloads For You is only available on Android, an iOS version will begin testing soon.
