Earlier today, Apple TV set-top box users started noticing that Netflix movies and TV shows were appearing in Apple’s TV app. The basic integration brought Netflix into the world of Apple TV’s universal queue for adding and resuming content from a watch list.
Within a few hours of popping up in the United States, however, the feature started to vanish. Mark Gurman at Bloomberg shared that he believed the integration was a bug, although actual support could come in the future. Meanwhile, The Verge reports that Netflix has confirmed that support for Apple’s TV app was a mistake and not intended to occur.
This is absolutely bonkers, stupid, and should be reversed. Netflix has been raising prices higher and higher constantly over the past few years — they owe it to the subscribers of their expensive service (even on the most Basic tier) to support a basic feature on Apple TV.
Or better yet: just unsubscribe from Netflix!
