Netflix ends support on iPhones and iPads running iOS 16

Netflix is set to end support for some old iPhone and iPad models, meaning the company will no longer provide new updates, features, and bug fixes compatible with devices running iOS 16.

Previously, the streaming services discontinued its app for the second and third-generation models of Apple TV devices in July 2024. Now, with the latest update to the app for iOS, Netflix has warned users about the end of support for iOS 16.

An alert on devices running Netflix on iOS 16 stated, “We’ve updated the Netflix app, to use the latest version, install iOS 17 or later.”
