While turned on, the Downloads for You feature will automatically download content to your mobile device only when connected to Wi-Fi, and there is available storage space allotted for the profile.

Once you have content consistently downloaded to watch offline, you won't have to kick family members off your Netflix account because the account has exceeded Netflix's simultaneous stream limit.
