  • Netflix is set to end support in September for several older Samsung, LG, Sony and Apple phone models.

Netflix will stop working on a range of older mobile phones in September, including models from Samsung, LG, Sony and Apple. The affected devices include the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Grand Prime; the LG Optimus L5, Optimus L7 and G2; and the Sony Xperia Z, Xperia Z1 and Xperia E3.

Apple models on the list include the iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the first-generation iPhone SE.

Netflix says it removes devices from its list of compatible products when their operating systems can no longer receive the necessary updates or support new features. The company links the policy to maintaining a secure, high-quality viewing experience.

Netflix recommends that people whose phones lose compatibility consider reusing, refurbishing or recycling them. Before doing so, users should perform a factory reset or remove their personal data.

The service remains available through newer smart TVs, game consoles, external HDMI streaming devices such as Roku Streaming Stick, Amazon Fire TV Stick, newer Apple TV models, Steren TV Box and Xiaomi TV Stick, as well as through the Netflix website on a desktop or laptop computer.
