Squid Game continues to be an overwhelming cultural phenomenon. The first season of Squid Game was released back in 2021 and was met with immensely positive reviews. The second season of Squid Game not only managed to meet the expectations created by the first season but surpassed them in several respects, breaking all precedents and setting new records in terms of audience engagement.

The latest news update from Netflix has confirmed that the streaming platform giant has now introduced the Season Download button for iOS. This essentially means that Netflix subscribers who are also iOS users will now be able to download the entire seasons of Squid Game or any other favorite show for that matter, with just one click.

The Season Download button has been a popular feature for Netflix subscribers who use Android operating systems since it was first launched back in 2021. The extension of the said feature to iOS had been much anticipated.

In a recently released statement, representatives of Netflix mentioned:

"No more downloading episodes one at a time — this feature is perfect for members gearing up for a long flight, a cross-country train ride, or simply planning some offline downtime."

Here's everything that we know.


Downloading Squid Game on iOS just got easier

Season two was released on December 26, 2024, and is still enjoying unmatched popularity across the streaming platform giant. The second season ended on such a tightrope cliffhanger that anticipation for the upcoming third season is at an all-time high. While there's no official announcement about the release date of the third season, it is expected to drop sometime this year itself.

Previously, Netflix subscribers using iOS had the privilege of downloading the episodes of their favorite shows, but one episode at a time. With the recent introduction of the Season Download button, an iOS-using Netflix subscriber can easily download the entire seasons of the Korean thriller show, thus ensuring that it percolates across even greater frontiers of audiences.


How to download seasons on Netflix?

All of the Netflix original shows and most of the licensed material hosted by the streaming platform may be downloaded for offline watching. On the show's display page, users need to look for the button next to the Share option. Upon tapping it, the full season will begin downloading automatically. To keep track of one's downloads or manage specific episodes, users can go to the Downloads area under the My Netflix page.

Additionally, Netflix released a list of its top five most downloaded shows of all time. As can be expected, the first season of Squid Game tops the list, followed by Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and Squid Game Season 2 in the second and third places. One Piece and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story occupies the fourth and fifth places on the list respectively.
