Part 1. Can You Watch Netflix Offline: General Rules Quick View

Can you watch Netflix offline? The short answer is yes. But with a few strings attached. Not all videos are available for download, and there are some important rules to keep in mind. Here's what you need to know:

• Subscription Required: Only Netflix subscribers can download content. And different subscription tiers have different limits to download videos.
• Device Compatibility: Downloads work only on certain devices: Android, iPhone, iPad, Amazon Fire tablets, and some Chromebooks.
• Available Titles Only: You can only download content marked as "Available for Download".
• Limited Watching Areas: Some country-exclusive Netflix titles may be unavailable to watch in other areas even if you downloaded them previously.
• Expiration Dates: Downloads may expire after 48 hours or up to 30 days once you start watching.
• Download Times and Number Limits: Each title can be downloaded a limited number of times per year, and you can only download a certain number of videos at once or per month.
