Hey there ned2444,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


We want to help you stream content on Netflix seamlessly. Do you notice if this happens when you are watching content in full-screen mode or with subtitles enabled? If so, can you try disabling subtitles or closing out of full screen mode and testing the issue again? This would be an isolation step to see if it affects the issue as a potential workaround and not a long-term solution, of course, since we would want you to be able to utilize full screen mode and subtitles as you prefer.


Once you've tested that out, it might be best to contact Apple directly with the results of your isolating steps. This will let you work with an AppleCare advisor directly to troubleshoot this issue together and work towards getting this resolved. You can start by reaching out here: Get Support


We hope that this information is helpful.


​Have a great day!
