Due to security reasons, Android users cannot cast their JioCinema screen to SmartTV. A workaround for this would be to download a modded App which will allow you to cast your screen. The downside of this is that you cannot upgrade JioCinema App to a newer version and also it is not a recommended approach for the safety and privacy of your device.
Download Movies from Jio Cinema on iPhone
As mentioned earlier, JioCinema has not provided a download feature on their App for iOS devices. This is problematic for the people who want to access videos for offline viewing or for those who have low internet connectivity.
Sadly, all Apple users can only stream content from JioCinema online. Hopefully, a feature for download on iOS comes soon. Will keep you guys posted on that and provide a guide for the same as soon as the download feature is available for the JioCinema App on iPhone.
Although download feature is not present yet, luckily there is an option to AirPlay content from your iPhone to any AirPlay supported device like AppleTV, iMac, Macbook.
How to copy Downloaded movies from JioCinema
JioCinema has ensured that all downloaded videos are stored in a proprietary format which is only visible within its app.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but there is no direct and easy way to copy Downloaded movies or TV shows from JioCinema App to any USB or other storage devices. What you can do is try downloading third-party software to help this copy process, but I strongly recommend against it as it could do more harm than good for you. Third-party software is highly unreliable and should not be used unless much needed.
