Netflix for iOS 9.3.5

IF you need older versions of apps for your older device, there are two ways of getting them.

The first and easiest way is to download the newest app to a newer iDevice, first.

Then go back to your older iDevice, download the newest version of the app, once again, and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device.. Would you like to download this version now.

Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.

If you need apps for your older iDevice, if you have a computer with an older version of iTunes (version 12.6.4 or earlier ), you can try downloading the recent app/s, by accessing the iOS App Store, through iTunes, and then, download the recent version of the app/s you like to use on your older iDevice to iTunes on your computer, FIRST.

IF you own a computer with an older version of iTunes already on it, try using that version as an older iDevice does not need the latest iTunes version.

If you have a computer, but NO iTunes on it, here is a link to the older 12.6.3 version for download found in this Apple weblink.

Older versions of iTunes found here.

https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes

iTunes 12.6.4 here.

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208079

DO NOT download OR USE the latest version of iTunes (version 12.7.x) as there is no more support for saving apps in iTunes under the most recent versions.

If you have already downloaded the recent 12.7.x version of iTunes, NONE of what I have wriiten here in this post reply may work!

You will need to use an older iTunes version and once it is downloaded and installed on your computer, at launch, hold down the Opt/Alt key on your keyboard while launching this older iTunee version, so you can create a new Tunes library.

BEFORE DOING the IMMEDIATELY ABOVE, if you use iTunes on a computer and already have an iTunes Library, you will need to find the iTunes Library folder on your computer and, temporarily, move/copy this folder to another location so you do not accidentally write over your existing current iTunes library.

Then, back on your older iDevice, you can try to download the latest app from the iOS App Store and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device.. Would you like to download this version now.

Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iDevice.

If you are successful in getting apps on this iPad, consider looking for more “up to date”, third party iOS web browsers for that version of iOS.

Some third party web browser developers supported their web browser on iOS 9.3.5 and are more up to date than the over two year old iOS version of the Safari Web Browser.

If you use iTunes on a computer, some third party iOS web browsers that may still have older versions for iOS 9.3.5.

Perfect Web browser

Dolphin Web browser

iCab Mobile Web browser

Maven Web Browser

Opera Web browser

Maxthon Web browser

Good Luck to You!

What I did was, downloaded Netflix on my Iphone 7 and then logged into icloud on my ipad that runs 9.3.5 with the same ID which I used on my iphone 7.

Then, on your IPAD mini go to the app store, in the purchases tab, you should see Netflix. Click the download button , then it will ask you do you want to install the older version of Netflix. Just say ok and the compatible version of netflix will get installed on your IPAD mini.

P.S: I don't know why Apple doesn't give this option while directly installing the app from the appstore on the IPAD ..weird.

Below answer didn't worked out for me :

"if u just go on website version then netflix ll ask u if u wanna download the app then it says wanna download older version then it ll work"

Thanks to @MichelPM for great info. Just want to add that a device reboot might be needed too.

We accidentally deleted Netflix from our iPadMini iOS 9.3.5. Tried to download it again (App Store > Purchased > Netflix > "cloud"), but got "Unable to Purchase, Netflix is not compatible with this iPad." Tried again with another AppleID that we normally use on another device with Netflix, and then again with the first AppleID ; same result each time. Even though the app was clearly in the "purchase" history of both AppleIDs.

Then we did a power-down of the iPad (hold the power button for several seconds, until prompted "slide to power off"). Upon power-up, repeated the Netflix download procedure, and this time got a prompt to download an earlier version of the app. Success!

Bonus info: During the troubleshooting, we contacted Netflix support; all they could say is that the app supports only the current IOS; they had no idea that previous app versions even exist. They said if we deleted the app off an old device, there was no way to re-install it. They also claimed to have no way for us to contact second-level support.

Bonus info2: App owners do have the right to remove/disable previous versions in the app store, so Netflix might someday decide to do that. But they clearly don't plan to yet; their help page https://help.netflix.com/en/node/106306 says they support all the way back to IOS 5.0

It is possible! It's also very easy to solve.

I ran into this same issue after resetting my iPad 3 (on iOS 9.3.5) to swap from my son to my younger daughter.

1. Go to the App Store on the iPad
2. Select "Purchased" icon at the bottom.
3. Search for NetFlix in the LEFT search bar labeled "Search Purchased Apps"
4. Select the cloud download button next to the NetFlix app.
5. It will let you know that you can't run the latest version and ask if you would like to download the last compatible version.
6. Download it!

I've been able to do this more than once today on different devices.

The following Apple support link helped me initially. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201272#help

Hope this helps!

It is now working.

1. I made a Update on my iPhone 5s to the newest I.os

2. I deleted the Netflix app and installed it again on the Iphone

3. I Tried it on the iPad on the same way and it was not working

4. I was going on iPad again to the App store an was Looking by Buy IN (Käufe) and there i could find the Netflix App and go to the cloud and Download the App.

Thx You

Can you use any of the 3 methods in my link below, for the umpteenth time, already?

If you need older versions of apps that have moved on to iOS 10 and later, tap on my link below and choose the method that best works with your current situation.

CAREFULLY read and follow ALL directions. Especially so for my computer/iTunes procedure.

There are three ways to try/attempt to get an older version of an app. Pick the method that works best for your situation/circumstances.

Also, I would STOP using that 2-2-1/2 year old Safari web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any longer, and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL being supported on iOS 9.3.5.

Heed my advice on this issue in my above link.

All of MY procedures work!!!

Do you own a newer iDevice?

Do you own a real computer?

Older versions of apps may still exist in the iOS App Store, despite the fact the apps may have moved on to an higher minimum iOS version, now.

If you need older versions of apps that have moved on to iOS 10 and later, tap on my link below and choose the method that  best works with your current situation.

Downloading Older iOS 9.3.5 Versions of A… - Apple Community

A Disclaimer.

Apps may or may not have older iOS 9.3.5 versions still available from within the iOS App Store.

The Netflix app has older versions, in the iOS App Store,  that go all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.

There are three ways to try/attempt to get an older version of an app. Pick the method that works best for your situation/circumstances. 

Also, I would STOP using that nearly 3-year old Safari web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any longer,  and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL compatible with older iOS versions found in my link above.

Netflix versions go all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.

You STILL do not understand and are not reading something correctly and are doing something wrong.

This is NOT my first rodeo with this and many others before you have successfully gotten the older Netflix app on their older iPads for nearly the past 3 years!

You do NOT need to connect your iPad to the computer.

You are just downloading an iOS App to iTunes on the computer ONLY.

You are NOT putting anything on any iDevice while using iTunes on a computer.

In iTunes 12.6.5, under the main center display and to the left, click on the category bar that says Music and change it to Apps.

Directly across, you have three other tabs to click on. Click App Store/Store tab bar.

Find the Netflix app in the iOS App Store. Click on Get. The iOS App Store will prompt you to put in your Apple ID and password.

Once you do this the download/install of the current Netflix app will complete.

Once the app is installed into iTunes on your computer, go back to your iPad.

Launch the iOS App Store app on your older iPad and in the lower menu, tap Purchased.

Look for the Netflix app in the list and tap the download “cloud” icon.

If older versions of the Netflix app still exist on Apple’s iOS App Store servers, then a pop-up window should appear stating that the app you are trying to install has on older, compatible version for your device and would you like to install this now.

Tap OK and the older Netflix app should download/install into your older iPad.

I just tested this again, just to make sure nothing has changed, and installed the current iOS 11 version of the GMail app into iTunes 12.6.5 on my Mac and then installed the older version of the GMail app into my iPad 2 through the Purchased section of the iOS App Store app on my iPad 2.

This all still works just fine and dandy.

Try again and Best of Luck to You!

Netflix has had change of policy recently.

Netflix still supports older versions of their app, but will no longer allow an initial download of its older Netflix versions any longer.

HOWEVER,

IF you had an IOS version of Netflix before, in the past, on any of your iOS devices, you can still obtain the older version, again.

Simply Go to the IOS App Store app, in the lower menu, tap Purchases, look in the list for Netflix ( if you ever had Netflix for iOS, it should be in this Purchases list ) tap the download “cloud” icon and if an older version still exists, a pop-up message should appear that an older version exists for your device do you want to download it now?

Tap OK below this pop-up message.

Other than this method AND if you had an older version of iOS Netflix in the past, there is no other way to obtain an older version, now.

Let me more simply state what will happen using either of my methods described.

You either install the latest version of Netflix on a newer iDevice, then on th older iDevice, then attempt to install the same newest version of the app on your older iDevice running iOS 9.3.5.

A pop-up dialogue window SHOULD appear telling you there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your iDevice and would you like to download and install this now? Tap the OK button below the message.

The iTunes 12.6.4 method is similar.

You download the newest version of Netflix to iTunes 12.6.4 on a Mac or PC, then go back to your older iPad to attempt to download the newest version of the app.

Once again, a pop-up dialogue box SHOULD appear stating that there is an older version of the app compatible with your device. Would you like to download this version right now? Then you tap OK button below the message to initiate the download and install.

I don't know what has happened and it is so strange but I tried again by going in to my purchased apps again in the app store and clicked on the Netflix v11.0 app that I had downloaded via iTunes several days ago which previously had not worked and it would always say that this Netflix app is not compatible with my iPad. Just now I clicked the v11.0 app and finally had the option of downloading an older compatible version. It is so weird so I'm thinking that maybe there was a glitch where the older versions were not available in the app store for some reason for a couple of days... maybe netflix took them off and put them back again who knows....

Anyway now I can say that the above steps have worked for me..... yay.... very happy now 🙂

Thanks again 🙂 🙂

I am glad i didnt believe in your answer, how can apple recommend this answer if its not correct?

Yes you can download an older version i just did it, go to your last app store buy list and select netflix from that list. It will ask if you want older version.

thanks, hope it helps
