Netflix Update: Ad-supported plan likely to block offline viewing- Report
Netflix is reportedly coming up with a new ad-supported tier which is unlikely to make the platform's offline viewing feature available to members on this low-end tier of the service. According to TechCrunch, this discovery surfaced when the developer-Steve Moser found code within the Netflix iPhone app that suggested the streamer will block users from downloading titles to their devices for offline viewing. Text in the code stated, "Downloads available on all plans except Netflix with ads", and also suggested users would be directed to personalise their ad experience and would not be able to skip commercials, as is expected. Netflix's Co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed during the Cannes Lions advertising festival that the future of the streaming giant will include ads.
