Disney+ App Download: Android, iPhone and What You Need

Disney+ gathers the stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic in one app, along with originals made for the service. You can watch on a phone, a tablet or a TV, and on the phone it is a handy way to keep children entertained on the go.

Before you install

The app is free to download, but there is no free viewing tier: you need a Disney+ subscription. Plans, prices, bundles and whether there is an ad-supported option depend on your country, and Disney lists the current ones on its site and inside the app. Sign-up is usually done on the website or in the app itself.

Using the app

• Profiles: Create separate profiles, including kids profiles with age-appropriate content.
• Watchlist: Save films and shows to see later and continue where you left off.
• Downloads: On plans that include them, you can save titles to your phone for offline viewing; the exact limits are set by your plan.
• Group watching and devices: Check your plan for how many screens can stream at once.

Getting it running

1. Install Disney+ from Google Play or the App Store.
2. Log in with your account email and password, or subscribe if you have not yet.
3. Under the profile menu, choose video quality and a data-saving mode for mobile networks.

If you are comparing services, Netflix and Prime Video have their own plans and catalogues. Install only from the official stores, and use a strong, unique password for the account since it holds payment details.
