Partial download in Netflix app

Netflix is ​​introducing a new feature that will be rolled out to users with an Android device in the near future. The company calls it “part download.” With this function you can already watch series and movies, while they are not yet fully downloaded. This should make streaming even easier. The feature is especially useful if you’re in an area with an unstable or choppy internet connection. You can then just start watching your movie or series, without having to wait for content to be completely downloaded.

For now, the functionality is only for Android, but an iOS version of the feature will also be worked on in the coming months.
