Netflix wants to make your life easier
Yes, Netflix decided to go one step further by downloading the content … automatically and without asking your opinion.

Well thought out automatic download function
You might expect, but Netflix takes the lead in avoiding potential clutter issues. When you enable the function for the first time, you can manually define the amount of storage you want to allocate for these downloads, with no less than three choices: 1GB, 3GB or 5GB.
Also, as important as it is, downloads do not interfere and only happen when your phone is connected to a WiFi network. In the specific case of the series, only the first episodes will be downloaded.
If we believe that Netflix, this automatic download function will not be limited to the contents of the service, thus extending it to its full list, although some restrictions may arise on some media.
Finally, keep in mind that this functionality is still being tested on Android, which will not be available on iOS until the end of the year.
