How can I get my iOS 11.0.3 iPhone to play Netflix on my tv through the lightening to hdmi adapter

1. Find the app in the App Store.
2. Tap the app, then tap Reviews.
3. Underneath App Store Customer Reviews, tap App Support.

Unfortunately the Netflix App is not streaming offline content after iOs 11 update via hdmi adapter. On your phone go to settings >General>Reset>Reset All Settings. After the reboot try Netflix App again.

After 55 minutes on the phone with Netflix, they finally told me it’s been an issue for several months. They tried to blame it on Apple...but it’s the Netflix engineers that have not been able to keep up with updates & glitches. Call Netflix and complain - I’m getting a credit for this month’s fee, but I’d rather be able to Airplay or mirror my iOS downloaded content for Netflix!! Everything will play from my Apple device EXCEPT for Netflix!

Hey if you have problems with Netflix playing on your TV after downloading iOS 11

Uninstall it and reinstall it and it will start working again That’s the only thing that worked for me resetting does not work

I'm having the same problem! I can mirror my ipad, but not my iphone.

Have restarted by phone, up-dated the app and my software, re-loaded the app, everything - so not sure what the go is!

Has anyone had any success?

I am having the same issue. I have tried with both Apple TV and a Apple lightning to HDMI and it does the same thing. The screen show up and freezes but I can hear sound. I wish I could figure out a way to do this. We go camping a lot without a good WiFi signal and would love to download shows to watch on my phone/mirror to the TV. We also tried with DirecTV app and it just gives an error message.

I had this problem as well. It looks like it only happens for shows you have downloaded to your device. If I delete the show that I was trying to watch (Stranger Things) from my downloads and stream it it works fine.

I feel you! I have it set up to run a slideshow for my business (Keynote) and after iOS 11 update it is so glitchy, will run for a while and then quit and get stuck in a loop and the screen(s) will go black until I close the app, reopen and then press play again.. Just annoying to mess with when you're busy and have customers who want to read your information.. Please Apple, let me know if there is a resolution to this because it is costing me business...

I'm about to hang 3 more TVs for Menu Boards and want to figure out what is best to resolve this situation and make it work fluid like it did up until the release of iOS 11.

Well, I know my specific inquiry was not tied to the actual "Netflix" header of the conversations... Just noticed someone had the same Keynote issue as I do and jumped on board with it. Keynote, iOS 11 and the Lightning connector would point all roads to Apple IMO.

I Just spent a good bit of time on the phone with Netflix- The Kid I was talking to was not aware of the issue and tried to walk me through the normal steps (re-download app, new HDMI cable, power phone down...)- I had already done all of these, and had also tried several TV's and even a second Apple TV unit- I finally convinced him that it wasn't operator error, or a hardware issue- He then put me on hold for 5 minutes- when he came back, he did say that there was an internal company bulletin stating that some people are having this exact problem, and that Netflix is working with Apple to try and fix it- I said that I have had this problem for about two months and asked how long they have been working on it- he replied, "about two months, but there are more cases coming in each day". He went on to say the "this whole download thing is fairly new to Netflix, and this is just another bug they are trying to work out". I asked if there was a way I could be notified when it was fixed- he said no- I should just check back each day- but until it is fixed, you can still watch streaming content over your apple TV (true, but not with slow internet out in the country)-

It would have been nice if if the company had sent out a notice to its subscribers when the issue first arose- I bet I have 20 hours invested in trouble shooting this issue-

No fix as of now.....back to DVD's! (On a side note, he did not offer to give me a credit for the months in which it did not work)-

I went through the same issue. To bad there isn't an easy way to contact Netflix. You can't email or chat them, only call them overseas ending up with about the same experience that you have described.

As your post has nothing to do with the Netflix app or using HDMI to show it on a television, it is both more polite and more effective to start your own thread. You will be far more likely to get the help you need.

Also, you will not receive an answer from Apple here. This is a user-to-user support forum. Apple's participation is minimal.

Best of luck.

This does not work resetting the settings does nothing. It's the Netflix app. The problem is mirroring downloaded Netflix shows or movies using the apple lightning, streaming work fine. I use this when traveling or camping. I am running iOS 11.0.1 on my iPad and it all was working great but then we stopped at a Starbucks in the middle of our trip and I updated the Netflix app today December 16 2017 and now it will not mirror downloaded shows or movies. You can get the sound on the TV but not the video. I am wondering if there is way to downgrade the app version. Maybe not a good idea to always update.

This is only a workaround, to be able to stream Netflix via AirPlay just tap the Apple TV in the mirroring section. Play Netflix and when the video start scroll down the iPhone notifications and hold it the entire episode.
