Can you download Netflix movies on iPhone? Many new Netflix audience may question about the offline feature on Netflix iPhone. The short answer is yes, you can download Netflix content on your iPhone! However, several Netflix download limits can affect your ability to download episodes or movies:

Besides, Standards with ads subscribers can only download 15 titles per device in a month, and ad-free plans enjoy 100 downloads per device in a month.

● Storage Space: Your device must have enough available storage to accommodate the downloads. Check your iPhone's storage settings to ensure you have sufficient space.

● iPhone Model and Operating System: Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS for optimal compatibility with the latest Netflix app. Netflix download option is only available on iPhones with iOS 9 or later systems. But be aware that the Netflix app now is only available on iOS 17 and later versions, which means if you haven't installed Netflix on your older device like iPhone X/8/8P before, you cannot download it on your iPhone anymore.
