Netflix received a major update on Android earlier this year, giving users the ability to download videos for offline viewing. This week, Netflix is going to the next level by allowing downloaded content to be saved externally on a microSD card.

It makes sense that Netflix would only roll out this update to Android devices, as Apple products have never, and probably never will, come with the ability to expand storage. The new feature will make it possible to save movies on an SD card, assuming your device permits it.

Video content in general takes up a lot of space, and with quality reaching new highs, more storage space is demanded. If your Android device has a microSD card slot, and you have a memory card, you’ll now be able to conserve your internal storage and save content externally. Just know that if you remove that card from your device, the movies will no longer be there to watch.

This feature is great if you have limited internal storage space on your device, or are looking to buy a new phone and want to save a few bucks with a smaller capacity variant. Also included in the update are fixes to many bugs present in the prior version of the mobile app. Grab the added functionality by first updating your Netflix app at the link in brackets down below linked to the Play Store.
