Ahead of the release of iOS 18, an important change has put millions of iPhone and iPad users in worry. Netflix, one of the world's leading streaming platforms, has announced that it will stop supporting iOS 16 and iPadOS 16.
Highlights:
Netflix ends support for iOS 16 and iPadOS 16
First-generation iPad Pro and iPad 5 will be affected by this change
Lack of support updates
Apple's iOS 18 update is released
Apple's iOS 18 update is scheduled to be released on September 16. With this, Apple will introduce the latest features and security updates with its new operating system. In the same sequence, Netflix has also decided to support its app only on iOS 17 and above versions. This means that devices that cannot update to iOS 17 will be deprived of future updates and bug fixes from Netflix. This means that if you have older devices like the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, first-generation iPad Pro, or iPad 5, you will soon no longer be able to use the Netflix app.
First generation iPad Pro and iPad 5
Netflix users who have Apple devices running on iOS 16 can still use the current version of the app. But, this app may not work properly in the future and no new updates or improvements can be expected for it. This step has been taken to ensure the security and functionality of the app, as other companies also end support on older operating systems.
How to take advantage of Netflix
All users are advised to upgrade their device to the latest operating system so that they can take advantage of Netflix's latest features and security updates. If they do not do so, they may be deprived of streaming services in the future and will also not be able to use the basic features of the app properly. This change is part of an effort to balance the growth of new technology with old technology. As technology is changing rapidly, companies also end support on older systems to give their users a better experience.
