Smart downloads coming to Netflix on IOS

Netflix is launching Smart Downloads for iOS – a seamless way for members to intelligently download titles on their iOS devices. In July 2018, Netflix first launched Smart Downloads for Android users, helping them spend less time managing downloads and more time watching their shows on the go.

Users do have the option to opt-out of the feature entirely and episodes will only download over Wi-Fi.
