Netflix games arrive on iPhone through exclusive iOS app
Netflix is ??no longer just a streaming platform, and now it also has a platform where you can play games exclusive to this App!
The largest streaming platform< span style="font-weight: 400;"> of online films and series now gives Android users the possibility of enjoying their first games through the Netflix app. However, for iPhone users, it happened some time later.
This has to do with Apple's own interest in the streaming market. , crystallized in services like Apple TV+ (plus), for example. That said, despite the delay, anyone with an iPhone will also have access to Netflix games, but in a separate app.
Why didn't the App come out at the same time for Android and iOS?
Apple security policy requires the creation of a new Netflix app
All you need to do is have an active subscription to the Netflix service to access the games included in the Android app, the titles will be essentially free. That is, without advertising displayed, without purchases within each game, or any other type of monetization of content.
In short, all you need to do is have an active Netflix subscription to enjoy the games already available on the Android app for free. Now, as there are no free lunches, this situation could conflict with Apple's monetization policy, as well as its own streaming service span> of online films and series - Apple TV - which has Netflix as its biggest rival.
This naturally raised several questions among Netflix's iOS subscribers. More specifically, regarding the feasibility of the same Netflix games present in the streaming, something that until now continues to be highly requested by iOS users.
This is also due to the obligation that game developers must grant Apple the security assessment of each game available through the App Store. This applies to any and all iOS (iPhone) games, whether available offline or via the Cloud.
The confirmation emanated from Mark Gurman, through his newsletter "Power On". The journalist claims that programmer Steve Moser had privileged access to the source code of a new Netflix application for iOS with the aim of hosting these games.
The journalist also states that Netflix games cannot be downloaded or accessed through the main (current) Netflix application. In this way, the company will guarantee that all games will comply with the App Store requirements, subject to security assessment.
In short, iOS users will be able to enjoy Netflix games. However, you will have to wait a little longer to do so, in addition to using a different app for this purpose. So, to watch films and series online, the existing app remains.
However, you can jplay Netflix on the new iOS app!
