If you are a Disney+ subscriber, you can download films and series from the streaming platform for free to watch them quietly on the mobile application without an Internet connection. Convenient for the holidays!
Like other streaming services – Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube Premium – Disney+ allows you to download content to watch it later offline. A very practical solution since it allows access to the service even without an Internet connection, as long as you do so in advance. This function is ideal for travel by train or plane, but also when you go to an area where neither Wi-Fi nor mobile data passes. However, it is available on Android and Apple mobile devices – tablets and smartphones – but also on Chromebook or Amazon Fire Tablet applications. For computers, SmartTVs and consoles, on the other hand, you will have to be content with online streaming. Disney+ also offers several parameters to better manage its downloads. Here is all you need to know.
