In times of power cuts or during travel do we truly grasp the importance of downloading media on our smartphones. Downloading a series that you’re currently watching or a film that’s been on the watching list for far too long is a good idea.
With downloaded content on Netflix, you’re able to cut down on data usage outdoors, especially in foreign countries where data rates are peculiarly high. Another reason to download content onto your device if you’re travelling abroad is that if your favourite series isn’t available on Netflix there, then downloading it allows you to watch it.
