Just tap the option for 'Download Video Quality' and bump it up to High. This time you'll want to scroll all the way down to 'App Settings' which is usually below all the other content categories.
If you want to bump the quality up you'll need to hit the burger menu button at the top left again. If you really want to download and you don't have Wi-Fi, just hit download and, when prompted, hit 'Download Now' to force it to use cellular data. By default you can only download these movies over Wi-Fi so that they don't eat up all your data if you're on a limited plan. Movies were a bit bigger, ranging from around 500MB to 1GB depending on the length and content. How big are the movies and TV shows on Netflix?īy default, all content you download from Netflix is in 'standard quality.' At that setting most hour-long TV shows rang in at around 250MB or so. For TV shows you'll see a similar setup, but the down arrow download button is located next to the titles of each individual episode. For movies this will bring you to the title screen, with a big play button at the top, some details about the movie in the middle, and two options: 'My List' and a 'Download' button with a down arrow. Once you find a program you want to download, just tap it the way you would if you were going to stream it. Videos that are available for download will have a new 'Download' option that'll let you put them on your phone.
