Since the recent update to the Plex app on iOS and iPadOS, the Downloaded section has taken a big step backward compared to the legacy app.
Previously, downloads were well-organized:
-
TV shows were grouped by series, and episodes were sorted properly.
-
The Smart Download feature let me automatically grab the next 1/5/10 episodes.
-
Watched episodes were auto-deleted, keeping storage clean without manual effort.
Now, everything is just a flat list of episodes and movies with no clear organization. If I want to download the next 10 episodes of a season, I can’t. My only options are to download the entire season or just the unwatched episodes. For example, if I have 2 episodes left in Season 2, I’d have to manually download Season 3 separately.
This change makes managing offline content much harder and less efficient. Please consider bringing back the previous functionality - it was a huge quality-of-life feature for those of us who rely on downloads.
