Over on the Netflix Help Page<\/a>, there is a pretty solid break down of just how much data you use when you\u2019re watching your favorite shows or movies on Netflix. The basic information<\/a> looks like this:<\/p>\n It is also interesting to note at this point that Netflix points out that streaming and downloading Netflix video consumes about the same amount of data<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re outside the house but think you might watch that episode of Kimmy Schmidt more than once, download it.<\/p>\n How to download Netflix movies for offline viewing<\/p>\r\n Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n Of course, Netflix offers more than two viewing options. For a start, there is Netflix\u2019s premier subscription package, which includes Ultra HD. If you watch your Netflix videos in Ultra HD<\/strong>, you will consume around 7GB of data for every hour<\/strong> you watch.<\/p>\n There is still more though, as Netflix also offers users the ability to limit their data usage at home or on a desktop or laptop PC<\/strong> to one of four pre-defined settings. These are:<\/p>\n To enable one of Netflix\u2019s data limiting settings all you have to do is head to Netflix and sign in. Then select the profile you’d like to change your data usage settings for. Once in click Account<\/strong>, then go to My Profile<\/strong> and hit Playback Settings<\/strong>. From there you select the setting you want and hit Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n How to ask for a movie or TV show to be added to Netflix<\/p>\r\n Submit your choice now<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n Netflix also offers details on mobile data usage settings <\/strong>that help you change how much data you consume when watching Netflix on a mobile device. These are as follows:<\/p>\n To enable one of Netflix\u2019s mobile data settings, open the Netflix app and hit the Menu<\/strong> icon. You then need to tap App Settings<\/strong>, and after that Cellular Data Usage<\/strong>. From there you simply select which of the above settings you want to enable.<\/p>\n All this shows that Netflix gives you quite a bit of control over how much data you will consume when you\u2019re watching your favorite shows and movies with the streaming service. The rule of thumb is 1 GB of data per hour of SD video and 3 GB of data per hour of HD video. There is, however, a lot you can do to alter how much data you use with Netflix and we hope we\u2019ve helped you get to the bottom of it with this guide.<\/p>\n How to find hidden Netflix categories<\/p>\r\n Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discover how much data Netflix uses and how you can use less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9073,"featured_media":181778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":2},"categories":[2441],"tags":[2383,1030,1039,1048],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-132247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to","tag-app-subdomain-redirectionnetflix","tag-entertainment","tag-multimedia","tag-netflix"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9073"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132247"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":326448,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132247\/revisions\/326448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132247"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=132247"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=132247"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=132247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
