How To Fix Unable To Install Netflix Error
Here are the most common ways to solve this unexpected behavior:
1. Update Software
In most cases, the problem is caused by a software limitation determined by a recent Netflix update!
According to the app’s info page in the App Store: iOS 16 or later, iPadOS 16.0 or later, tvOS 16.1 or later are required for Netflix on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV!
Tip: Check the software version on your device in Settings and perform the required update if you’re running an outdated OS.
Fact: Apparently for now older Apple devices that aren’t compatible with the above mentioned software versions are able to still run an older Netflix version, as long as the third-party app is already installed on the device.
2. Reinstall App
Other users inform that they had to redownload and install Netflix from the App Store!
This works if Netflix is available on your Home Screen and it’s offloaded. If you see a cloud next to the Netflix app icon and tap it to download the app it might trigger the Unable to Install Netflix error.
In this case you can try to delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store.
Tip: You can use the offload feature available in Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage -> Netflix -> Offload App -> Reinstall.
Fact: A similar issue was also reported a couple of months ago when users running iOS 16.6 were not able to download Netflix, because the app required iOS 15.0 or later. If you’re experiencing a similar bug please mention it in the comments.
