Can I watch Disney Plus offline? The answer is a nice and simple yes! This article explains how to download Disney Plus movies to watch offline on your smartphone or tablet.
Can You Watch Disney Plus Offline?
What’s unique about Disney Plus compared to all the rest is that it’s the only one of its kind that makes its entire catalog of films and shows available for download, not just certain titles and episodes. Here’s how to start watching your favorite Disney shows offline on iPhone and Android devices.
What Devices Support Offline Viewing on Disney+?
You can download everything on Disney+, from the latest Marvel film to any episode of The Simpsons. However, support for offline viewing is only available on mobile devices.
This includes Android and Apple phones and tablets, as well as Amazon Fire tablets. You can’t download content on other devices like web browsers, smart TVs, or game consoles. However, that doesn’t mean you have to watch your downloaded content on a small phone screen; Disney+ supports screencasting, so you could use Chromecast to broadcast to your TV.
Setup Before Downloading Anything on Disney Plus
Before downloading anything, you should first customize your settings. You can control whether to download only on WI-FI, video quality and where downloads are stored.
- To customize these settings, click your profile picture in the lower right corner, then click App Settings.
- If you don’t want to exceed your cellular data limit, enable the Download over Wi-Fi-only toggle. When enabled, any pending downloads will only start when you are connected using Wi-Fi.
- Click Download Quality; you can set it to High, Medium, or Standard. Lower quality results in faster downloads and requires less storage space.
- Finally, tap Download location to choose between internal storage and external storage.
