Netflix has introduced a Smart Downloads feature that deletes an episode after it has been watched and then automatically downloads the next one.
Viewers who wish to keep episodes on their device have to turn off Smart Downloads so they can manage their downloaded content.
Smart Downloads is available on Android phones and tablets running the latest version of the Netflix app.
The Smart Downloads feature only turns on when viewers are connected to Wi-Fi. As a result, data plans will never be used and it doesn’t impact on device storage.
As previously reported by Broadband TV News, Netflix first introduced its Download feature in late 2016.
