Netflix has announced it will stop supporting over 87 million older devices by March 2024. This change affects users with older smart TVs, streaming players, and gaming consoles.
The decision impacts devices that cannot run newer streaming technologies and security updates. Older Apple TV, Fire TV, and smart TV models will lose access to the Netflix app.
Netflix says this move is necessary to improve streaming quality and enhance security for all users. Newer devices support better video codecs that improve picture quality significantly.
Affected users have received email notifications about the upcoming changes. Netflix recommends upgrading to newer streaming devices like Roku or Fire TV Stick to continue watching.
Users can still access Netflix through web browsers on older devices if the app stops working. However, the best experience requires upgrading to a supported device model.
