Netflix finally adds a long-sought feature for iPhone and iPad users
Netflix has just made binge-watching that much easier with the release of the Season Download button for those using an iPhone and/or iPad.
This highly anticipated feature enables users to download an entire season of their favorite shows with just a single tap, making offline viewing easier than ever.
It saves you from the pains of having to download each episode individually, a feature that has, up until now, been an Android exclusive. So whether you’re about to take a long flight, go on a road trip, or just catch up on Netflix without an internet connection, this update will make sure that you’ve got all the episodes you’ll need right at your fingertips.

But say you are preparing for a trip and want to binge an entire season of The Night Agent or XO, Kitty. Instead of selecting each episode one by one, consumers could now download a whole season with one click. Of course, it is a small feature but an important one that will make binge-watching easier and quicker than ever, particularly for frequent offline watchers.
