Helping maximize space in Android devices, Netflix unveiled a new “smart downloads” feature. This will automatically delete an episode you’ve downloaded and seen and then download the next episode for you the next time it detects you’re connected to a Wi-Fi connection. Usually, Netflix will stop you from downloading too many episodes but this new feature could potentially put a stop to reaching the maximum number of downloads. If you’d rather keep the old episodes though, you can head to the Downloads setting and toggle off the Smart Downloads option. No word yet when the feature is coming to iOS.
