Netflix app can no longer be installed on rooted devices from the Play Store
The Netflix app for
Android can no longer be installed on rooted devices from the Play Store.
Starting with
version 5.0, those with a rooted Android device will have to find other ways to
get the Netflix app. Those who already have the app installed on their rooted
devices will be able to continue using it for the time being.
According to Netflix, the new app uses
Widevine DRM by Google and only works on devices certified by Google and not
modified in anyway. That doesn’t really explain how the app still works when
sideloaded on rooted devices.
Netflix recently released version 5.0 on the
Play Store. One of the main additions in this update is the presence of HDR and
Dolby Vision, which is only supported on the LG G6 for now.
