How to manage the quality of downloads in HBO Max to save data and storage on your mobile

HBO Max is already a reality. A progressive release, as the application is not yet available on all platforms. In fact, after testing it, I have only been able to install it on a mobile with Android and on televisions with Android TV and on the Chromecast with Google TV. An app that arrives with aesthetic changes and functions, new and reorganized and in this article we are going to see how to manage the quality of the downloads we make from the mobile.

Setting the quality of the downloads can be very useful, especially when it comes to devices that have a very tight storage space. HBO Max allows two levels of quality of the downloaded video and now we are going to see how we can manage them.

Adjust downloads to use less data and space

Max 3

HBO Max arrives with a major facelift. It maintains the functions of the HBO app that we have been using until now, but with a renewed interface. It offers some movies in 4K quality but all its series, at least the ones I have seen, follow “only” in HD quality. And despite not having almost 4K content yet, It is worth knowing what is the quality of the video that we are going to download.

To do this we have to enter HBO Max and in the lower area, click on the icon to access our “Profile” (Remember that now HBO Max allows profiles). Inside of the “Profile”, in the upper left area, we have to click on the icon of the gear wheel that offers access to the “Settings”.

A new window opens with different options and we look at the fourth, a section with the name “Video Options” on which we must click. We will see a new screen with different playback options and within the subsection “Downloads” we will see an option with the title “Download quality”. There we will have to press.

We will see two options: “Best Quality”, so that we will have a higher quality video but in exchange for spending more time downloading, or “Faster download” so we spend less time downloading the video and we need less data but at the cost of having less quality.

In addition, the app can be configured so that only “Wi-Fi” downloads are allowed to avoid scares in data rates and activate a warning to alert about downloads on mobile devices.

It is already in the hands of each person, depending on the available data and the storage space that the mobile has, to choose the option that interests you the most.
