Installing Netflix on MacBook: What are your options?

If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably realised that there is no official way to download the Netflix app for MacBook. The reason behind this bizarre decision remains a mystery.

Netflix still maintains this was done due to ‘technical limitations’. There are still some interesting caveats that you can take advantage of to get Netflix on your Apple laptop. If you own a MacBook that runs macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 or earlier, you can sideload the iOS version of Netflix from the App Store. The only catch is that this method may not work for long, since the app developers are constantly phasing out old versions of apps. Intel-based MacBook users also have the option of installing Netflix from the Microsoft Store after installing the Windows OS using Boot Camp Assistant. But this method may seem excessive to folks who don’t want to install an entire OS just for one app. If you’re looking for simple and routine methods to install Netflix on your MacBook, keep reading along.

Top 5 Easy Methods to Set a Blank Status On WhatsApp
