How to Get Netflix on an iPhone
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 6 Plus, in iOS 8. The version of Netflix being used is the most current version available at the time this article was written. This article will assume that you already have a Netflix account. If you do not, then you can go to www.netflix.com and sign up for one now. Once you have your account, simply return here to follow the steps and start watching Netflix on your iPhone. Step 1: Open the App Store. Step 2: Select the Search option at the bottom of the screen. Step 3: Type netflix into the search field at the top of the screen, then select the netflix search result. Step 4: Tap the Get button to the right of the Netflix app, tap the Install button, then enter your Apple ID password when prompted. Note that this is the password for your Apple ID, not your Netflix password. You won’t need your Netflix password for two more steps. Step 5: Tap the Open button to launch Netflix after the app has been downloaded and installed. Step 6: Type your Netflix email address and password into their respective fields, then tap the Sign In button. You will then be able to watch movies and TV shows by tapping the icon for the desired video. If you have a limited amount of data on your monthly cellular plan, then it might be a good idea to restrict Netflix to a Wi-Fi network. Streaming video over a cellular network can use a lot of data.
