Netflix Is Ending Offline Downloads on Windows

Netflix isn't trying to hide this discrepancy. As reported by Windows Latest, users who open the Netflix on Windows app are now met with a pop-up announcing the replacement app. The announcement explicitly states that this new app won't support offline downloads, but it provides no explanation as to why.

It's unclear whether Netflix is developing a proper Windows app or simply setting up a web wrapper. Given the lack of an offline downloads feature, the latter option seems more likely. Windows Latest asked Netflix for clarification and was redirected to an unhelpful support page, so I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Those who regularly use Netflix's offline downloads feature on their PC should begin searching for an alternative. Whether that means buying a tablet or using your smartphone—that's up to you. (If you specifically need something that can connect to a TV over HDMI, a Samsung tablet is probably your best bet.)

We don't know when Netflix will launch its new Windows app. And we aren't sure whether this app will immediately replace the old app. They could, in theory, coexist for some time.
