Netflix to Stop Allowing In-App Subscriptions to Avoid Apple Fees
-
Netflix will stop allowing subscribers to pay through Apple's in-app purchase system soon, requiring them to add a new payment method. This is to avoid paying Apple a 15% fee.
-
Netflix removed the option to subscribe through the App Store in 2018, but allowed existing subscribers to continue paying that way.
-
It's unclear which countries this new payment policy applies to, but it was added to the US Netflix site, suggesting it likely applies in the US.
-
When Netflix first removed in-app subscriptions in 2018, it said customers could continue using that method until accounts were canceled.
-
There's no word on how many Netflix subscribers still pay via in-app purchases since it's been nearly 6 years since that option was removed.
