Watching downloads on iPhone without Wi-Fi

Why can’t I watch movies movies I’ve purchased through iTunes on my iPhone Appletv App without Wi-Fi? Or without using cellular? Like I used to be able to do.

I bought movies to watch offline as advertised when I first started. I feel ripped off, like they want to control my viewing.

if there’s a way does someone know how? Let me know.

iPhone 13, iOS 15
