Netflix for iOS 9.3.5

Try my two solutions here.

These two methods ARE THE ONLY way to get older versions of apps for your older iPads.

Follow the second, iTunes method, carefully.

Downloading Older iOS 9.3.5 Versions of Apps ONLY Available Now for iOS 10 or Later

Both of these solutions work!

Good Luck to You!

You did a bunch of things wrong.

All three of my procedures work!

For the iTunes method, try using iTunes 12.6.5, instead of an earlier version of iTunes and still carefully read and follow all of the steps.

Download the current Netflix app to your iPhone 7 from the iOS App Store.

Then, go to your iPad 2.

Open the iOS App Store app on your iPad 2.

At the bottom of the App Store app, there is a menu along the bottom.

Look for the purchases option.

Look through all of your purchased apps in that list and find the Netflix app.

Tap the download “cloud” icon next to the Netflix app.

A small window pop-up prompt should appear 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.

Hi everyone. First of all I want to tell you that I have read everything @MichaelPM wrote and since I only have 1 apple device at hand, I tried the solution with PC+old itunes. I managed to download itunes 12.6.3.6 to my PC. I connect my ipad with version 9.5.3 and I could see the netflix app at my downloaded apps. I tried to install app directly from PC itunes and it didn't work, then I tried app store from my ipad and again, I see the app in my app list with a download image (cloud and arrow pointing down) but when I tried to download it just display an error message that says "Netflix" is not compatible with this ipad. THERE IS NO SUGGESTION of older versions. just a message that actually means "buy a new device". hence the recommended answer...

As a result I followed all the steps and at the final stage, Apple still doesn't allow me to install the app. I know you said people that they might have done something wrong but i double-triple... check and this specific solution is not working (anymore). Maybe someone in the company let me download it after a while. I think this is why that person's problem solved miraculously after insisting on it doesn't work. I followed the steps and either this solution does not work or apple have a grudge against my ipad.

If you used my link these procedures ALL work.

You are doing something wrong.

If you have a newer iDevice and downloaded the new version of Netflix, you go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store App. In the lower menu under purchased, tap and look for Netflix app in your list of purchased apps.

Tap the download “cloud icon”.

If the older versions of Netflix are still on the iOS App Store servers, you should get a pop-up message stating an older compatible version of the app is available for download and would you like to download it?

Tap OK and the older version of Netflix should download to your iDevice.

If you used my iTunes 12.6.5 method and were successful in downloading and installing iTunes 12.6.5, you then create a new iTunes library, log into the iOS App Store from within iTunes, using your Apple ID and password.

Look for the recent version of Netflix in the iOS App Store.

Download the new version of Netflix to iTunes 12.6.5 on your computer.

Once you have installed the newer version of the app in iTunes.

Go back to my above steps, open the App Store on the older iOS device, go to the Purchased option in the bottom menu, look for the Netflix app and tap the download “cloud icon”.

If the older versions of Netflix are still on the iOS App Store servers, you should get a pop-up message stating an older compatible version of the app is available for download and would you like to download it?

Tap OK and the older version of Netflix should download to your iDevice.

All three of my procedures ALL still work!

Try it once, again.

Good Luck to You!

That will not be possible since any apps installed into iOS need to be tied to the Apple ID of the device owner to work.

The OP was able to download the proper app, but has/had an issue logging into their Netflix account from within the app.

I am not sure which older iTunes version/s were still compatible with iOS 10.

Best to use my link to iTunes 12.6.5, instead.

Also, make sure you are logged into iTunes and the App Stores using your Apple ID and password.

Underneath the main iTunes control/title bar there is a a category bar that defaults to Music.

Click on it and click on Apps.

That will bring you to an area where you can select the iOS App Store from within iTunes.

In the main iTunes center window, click on App Store. This IS the iOS device App Store.

Select iPad .

In the far upper search bar in iTunes, start typing Netflix.

It will come up in a list for both iPhone and iPad apps.

Click on the Netflix icon to download the current Netflix version within the 12.6.5 version of iTunes.

Then go back to your iPad.

Tap on the iOS App Store.

In the App Store menu, tap purchases.

Look for Netflix in that list and use the cloud/download icon to attempt to download an earlier version of Netflix.

If successful, a older version available pop-up message will appear, then tap the OK button.

Good Luck to You!

I understand that (what I said before).

Apple recommend solution, sometimes can be incorrect, as it is on this article.

However, Apple probably would not mention those solutions if you contacted support.

Quick question, when do the posting limits go away? I am always trying to help a lot of people, but the posting limits always prevent that.

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.

All three of my procedures/solutions work!

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

The Netflix app has 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 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.

I am not sure what is going on.

Many have tried one or all three of my procedures and they all worked for them, with only minor issues with getting these to work initially.

Netflix versions go all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.

So, I am not sure where your own difficulties with following my instructions/procedures lie.

All I can add is maybe try these again and see what happens.

iOS 9 is fast approaching 3-years since Apple has supported this vesion and now more and more third party app developers are moving on and no longer supporting iOS 9 and earlier iOS versions.

I predicted that older iDevices running iOS 9 and earlier would start losing app support in two to three years and it looks like this is already starting to happen.

iPad 2, 3 and 1st gen Mini are over 6 and 7 year old devices, now.

Support for older computing devices will never be forever.

Even with other mobile device makers, supoort for OS and apps ends even quicker.

Apple and Microsoft are the ONLY device and software makers that support their products for 5 to 6 years.

Worked perfectly!

I will repost Aerodevil here. And Step 3 is crucial, to search on already downloaded apps, not app store.

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!

If you have downloaded it already you can do this.

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!

If you have not downloaded it previously you need a newer device. Grab your friends newer iOS device sign in to your account. Download it. Make sure to sign out. Then you can follow the previous steps.

If you have downloaded it already you can do this.

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!

If you have not downloaded it previously you need a newer device. Grab your friends newer iOS device sign in to your account. Download it. Make sure to sign out. Then you can follow the previous steps.

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 carefully read when you need to use my older iTunes procedures.
