Netflix has confirmed that it will no longer support older iPhones and iPads running on iOS 16. This decision applies to devices such as the first-generation iPhone X and iPad Pro, which cannot be updated to iOS 17.

Here's What We Know

In the latest update to the Netflix iOS app, a notification has appeared informing users that iOS 16 support is no longer available. "We've updated the Netflix app! To use the latest version, please install iOS 17 or later," reads the message, which is displayed on iOS 16 devices.
