How to Keep Netflix Downloads Forever
On the streaming video website - Netflix, there are always new videos released and some videos leaving the site. If you don't watch them on Netflix in time, you may not be able to watch them on this site after they leave. Maybe you'll want a way to keep these videos forever, so you don't need to worry about when they will leave Netflix, or sometime in the future. You can still play these videos one day after you cancel your Netflix subscription. This article will show you how to keep Netflix videos for a long time.
Part 1. Why the videos leave Netflix
Netflix licenses TV shows and movies from studios around the world. Though they strive to keep the titles you want to watch, some titles do leave Netflix because of licensing agreements. Whenever a TV show or movie license is expiring, there are two things they will consider such as: “If the rights to the title are still available.”, “How popular it is in a region, and how much it costs to license”.
If a TV show or movie is renewed, it remains on Netflix for you to enjoy. If a title isn't renewed, they will give you a heads up when it's about to leave.
If a TV show or movie is leaving Netflix in the next month, they display a “Last day to watch on Netflix” message in a few places to make sure you don't miss out.
- On the Details page of the TV show or movie.
- At the top of the screen for a few seconds when first playing the title.
Part 2. How to keep Netflix downloads forever
To download video contents from Netflix and watch them offline, you need the latest version of the Netflix app on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 9.0 or later, Android phone or tablet running Android 4.4.2 or later, Amazon Fire tablet running Fire OS 4.0 or later, and Windows 10 (version 1709 or newer) or Windows 11 tablet or computer. If those videos leave Netflix, even if they've been downloaded offline, you still won't be able to play them. If you cancel your Netflix subscription account, TV shows and movies you’ve downloaded will be deleted from your device.
