Netflix content started showing up for the first time in the Apple TV application. Until now, the streaming behemoth refused to cooperate with Apple\u2019s app that displays content from a variety of services.<\/p>\n
Netflix\u2019s new integration with Apple TV appears to be still rolling out, so it\u2019s not yet available to all users.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong> A Netflix spokesperson now says integration between the streaming service and the Apple TV was just a mistake.<\/p>\n The free Apple TV application<\/a> tries to be a central hub for finding shows on any streaming service. This includes Apple TV+<\/a>, of course, but that\u2019s only the start. The app\u2019s home screen for each user lists recently played episodes on Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+ and more.<\/p>\n This cross-app integration is at the discretion of the user, and they need to approve it. But each of the streaming services also needs to approve it. And Netflix refused\u2026 Update:<\/strong> The Verge<\/em> reports being told by a Netflix spokesperson that, \u201cThis morning\u2019s window where Netflix appeared as a \u2018participating\u2019 service in Apple TV \u2014 including temporary support for the watchlist and \u2018continue watching\u2019 features \u2014 was an error and has now been rolled back<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Reports of Apple TV users being asked to connect Netflix<\/a> to the Apple TV app started appearing early on Friday:<\/p>\n Am I dreaming? Netflix integration in the Apple TV app? pic.twitter.com\/yMeWk6x2US<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 FlatpanelsHD (@Flatpanels) February 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Thereafter, Netflix series appeared in the \u201cContinue Watching\u201d section of the app.<\/p>\n Netflix is one of the two largest streaming services, slightly behind only Prime Video<\/a>. Executives feel it doesn\u2019t need Apple\u2019s help<\/a>, preferring its subscribers use the Netflix\u2019s own app.<\/p>\n While that\u2019s understandable, hub applications like Apple TV help users find shows scattered across multiple streaming services. For example, someone who wants to watch the classic The X-Files<\/em> can use Apple\u2019s app to discover it\u2019s on Hulu.<\/p>\n There was never an announcement from either Apple or Netflix about the change, so all that was known was what users discovered on their own.<\/p>\n The only people who ever got access the option to connect Netflix to the Apple TV application were those with Apple\u2019s physical set top box, also called Apple TV. Also, all the lucky users were in the United States.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not clear who made the error that enabled the Netflix integration, or exactly what happened. Optimists might hope that the two companies were testing a feature that\u2019ll be enabled at some point, but that\u2019s pure speculation. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nNetflix and Apple TV: NOT<\/strong> together<\/h2>\n
