Being able to download content to your device so that you can stream it offline is an essential feature for music-streaming services, but not so much for video-streaming services. Being able to download content to your smartphone while you’re on Wi-Fi allows you to access that content while you’re out and about without having to worry data limits, dead zones, or slow Internet. That’s why users have been asking Netflix to implement the feature for years, and the company may finally be doing just that, according to a report from Light Reading on Friday.
