How to Remove a Download Device From Netflix (Desktop & Mobile)

When it comes to the video streaming service, Netflix is the most popular one, offering more content and features than other video streaming sites. If you are using Netflix for a while, you might know that the site allows you to download content for offline viewing.

The download option is available within the Netflix app on mobile and Windows PC. Although the offline playback feature is useful, Netflix limits the number of devices you can use to download videos for offline viewing.
