Netflix has decided to stop accepting subscription payments through Apple's App Store in-app purchase system. This move affects users who, until now, have been making their monthly payments using this method. So, what can we do now if we find ourselves in this situation?
How to Keep Your Netflix Account Active
Although Netflix stopped offering the option to subscribe to its streaming service from iOS devices back in 2018, it had since allowed customers who had subscribed in this manner to continue using in-app payment. However, the streaming company has now decided to end this practice, mainly to avoid paying Apple a 15% commission on these fees.
Therefore, subscribers affected by this recent policy will need to add a new payment method directly through Netflix's website to keep their accounts active and continue enjoying the service without interruptions. By eliminating Apple as an intermediary, payment details such as a credit card or debit card must be entered.
Netflix has updated its support site to reflect this change in the United States. Moreover, as reported by The Streamable and as we've been able to confirm at Hanaringo, this change appears to be coming to other "certain countries," including Spain. Therefore, it's wise to be on the lookout for an email from Netflix and act accordingly if necessary to maintain our account on the streaming platform.
