Netflix users can now watch movies offline on mobile devices
New York
NETFLIX announced on Wednesday that users worldwide can download some videos to their mobile devices instead of streaming them over cellular data, a feature that could keep eyeballs on the app when Internet signals are spotty or unavailable.
Users boarding an airplane, leaving on a road trip or ducking into the subway, for example, could use Wi-Fi to download their favourite movies and TV shows beforehand, then view them when the cellular signal dips out.
