Recently, several of them have raised their prices and taken measures against account sharing outside households – something that has provoked strong reactions among customers.
This is what some users wrote when Netflix decided to introduce a fee for account sharing:
“I’m just here to say that your new account sharing fee is completely idiotic. There are tons of streaming services out there and Netflix is far and away the best.”
“Ending the family’s Netflix subscription because we can’t share anymore.”
“Netflix, fix the damage. Some people have more than one house! Kids in school! We pay for our screens. Let’s have our accounts the way we want! Totally sick and greedy.”

Netflix can no longer be updated on some devices
Now Netflix also announces that their app will no longer be able to be updated on multiple devices – something that among others MacRumors reported on.
Doing so will not fix any bugs and may eventually mean that the Netflix app no longer works on the devices in question, according to Macworld.

So what kind of devices are these? Well, there are several Apple products, which do not support iOS 17 or later.
“We’ve updated the Netflix app! To use the latest version, install iOS 17 or later,” says a message shown to Netflix customers using iOS 16, Macworld reported.

However, some devices cannot update to the latest software. Here are the devices that do not support iOS 17 and therefore will not be able to update the app going forward.
So far, the Netflix app can be used on these, but it is therefore uncertain how it might work in the future.
