Netflix may soon disable the download option on its Windows app, a move that would significantly impact subscribers who watch content offline on their laptops.
Artem Russakovskii reported on X (formerly Twitter) about a new alert in the Netflix Windows app indicating this change. However, it’s unclear if this alert is accurate. It might be an error, or perhaps Trevor62271128’s contradictory screenshot is incorrect.
There’s also a chance that Netflix is only notifying users who actively use the download feature. Trevor62271128 noted they don’t use downloads, which might explain why they didn’t receive the alert.
Alternatively, Netflix could be conducting A/B testing to measure user reactions to this potential change, a strategy the company has used in the past.
If you rely on the download feature in the Netflix Windows app, now might be a good time to contact Netflix and express your desire to keep it available.
