Netflix discontinues support for iPhones and iPads running iOS 16

After discontinuing its app for the third generation Apple TV, Netflix has just confirmed that it will soon end support for some old iPhones and iPads. 9to5Mac reports that the company will no longer provide updates compatible with devices running iOS 16.

With the latest update to the Netflix app for iOS, users have been warned about the end of support for iOS 16. Devices such as the iPhone X and the first-generation iPad Pro are among those that cannot be updated to iOS 17, and consequently will no longer run the latest version of Netflix.

“We’ve updated the Netflix app! To use the latest version, install iOS 17 or later,” says an alert shown on devices running the Netflix app on iOS 16.

For now, iOS 16 users can still ignore the alert and keep using the Netflix app, but it should stop working in the future.
