Download Netflix Movies?

[RARECJ8]

Looking to download some Netflix should ever be off grid. Onto an iPad. Seems a no go. Have app installed but there is no own arrow/download option. Watch with data/wifi, no problem. Tried random sampling of several movies and not there. Verify those same movies on the desk PC and it’s there. Every tutorial says tap the download icon, but that is not present. Stumped. Deleted and reinstalled the app, no difference.

Ideas? TIA.

You running updated ios?

How old is the iPad? If it's older, you will not necessarily be running the latest versions of apps.

Which movie are you trying to download? Not all Netflix movies are downloadable. Also your Netflix subscription limits the number of devices that can have downloaded movies on it, the number depends on your subscription.

iPad with latest iOS. “Your software is up to date.” Not one single offering is available for download. Delete, again and reload the app. No luck. Try with the phone and bingo, option is there. But watching a downloaded movie on iPad is a no go. FML.

I wonder if you have too many devices with netflix downloads.

I wish. But no. iPad with the app and iPhone . Never simultaneous of course. We’re hoping to watch movies over turkeys day. Disappointed.

I’m just here to ask/show my age.

Netflix allows you to download movies to your device and ply them when not connected to the internet?

I assume this is hat the OP wants.

Correct

Netflix support site says iOS 9 or newer should allow you to download titles.

13.5

How old is the ipad? I have an old one that says the ios is up to date, but that is because the device is so old it is no longer supported.

 

[Dennis]

13.6 is the latest version of the Netflix app for iOS, so he's close to being current. Did you try calling Netflix?

Check for a “downloads” button in the bottom tool bar. From that button, you can search for content they permit for downloads. As someone else mentioned, they don’t permit downloads for all shows/movies.

 

[RARECJ8]

There is not a download option, anywhere for any option... zero. I picked a movie on phone that offers download option —good— then checked same movie on iPad and, nope, not there.

Under your account, click on "Manage Download Devices." Is you IPad listed there as one of the devices that you can download to?

 

[RARECJ8]

Yes the iPad is listed.

I have no problems downloading Netflix movies on my iPad.

I pretty much gave up. Can easily watch Netflix or Amazon prime video but download? Not possible on iPad. Phone? Sure just not the tablet.
