Netflix update adds WiFi only switch

Netflix for Android has received a small update, but it’s one that many users will want to download. The app introduces a WiFi only toggle to make sure videos can only be streamed when connected to a WiFi network.

This is a great feature for those on capped plans because a lot of Netflix can take up a lot of bandwidth. They’ve also made improvements to help playback stability, but that’s about all you’re going to find in this one. The update comes in at an even 10MB and can be had in the Google Play Store.

      On the main page of the app, scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll see the “Account” button. Click and you’ll see the wifi only option.

    If only there was anything worth watching to use up my bandwidth. I don’t miss Netflix at all.

    What ever happened to the whole Play Store installing patches instead of installing the whole app on an update thing? I’ve yet to see an app only be patched (unless the patches are just as big as the app, which defeats the purpose).

    Netflix problem on Droid RAZR MAXX: Anyone know the solution? I get to Netflix, click on movie to watch, but gets hung up or “stuck” on “loading…” and never loads. Been like this for weeks. I’ve tried to install, reinstall, Safe Mode, Clear Data, Delete Netflix app, with and without Updates, Soft Reboot, etc etc…nothing works. Any suggestions?
