Netflix's ad-supported tier won't let users download content for offline viewing

Firstpost  

Netflix is planning to launch their ad-supported plan sometime in January 2023. Recent reports suggest that Netflix’s upcoming ad-supported tier might not include a popular feature. The streaming giant doesn’t plan to let subscribers download content for offline viewing on its ad-supported tier. The removal of the download feature from what will likely become Netflix’s cheapest plan was discovered by a developer, Steve Moser, looking into the company’s iPhone code, according to Bloomberg. Netflix said it is still deciding how to launch its lower priced ad-supported tier and has nothing further to share at this time.
